Just to bring everyone up to date:

Dean was diagnosed with stage 3c colon cancer. He had surgery to remove the tumor on 10/24/08. The cells went outside the colon walls, so he will also need chemo. The chemo will start 11/24/08 and he will is every 2 weeks for 6 months.

We have been told for the most part, the chemo regiment he will receive has minimal side effects. It should not cause hair loss or nausea, so Dean is looking forward to working and maintaining his normal lifestyle throughout the process.

We are also going to Barnes Hospital in St. Louis for a 2nd opinion on Nov 17.

Dean is determined to beat this so he is around to see Devin start for the Packers and Kenzie become President!
