Well my woodworking has been put on hold once again. About two months ago my wife found out that she has cervical cancer. She is a RN and hasn’t been able to work since she found out because of the heavy bleeding. She is taking radiation and chemo treatments. I have been missing so much work that I may have to sell some of my woodworking tools. Please keep her in your prayers. Greg |

Wife only has two more radiation treatments to take. She had to have a blood transfusion Wednesday and we couldn’t go watch our son in the state football finals but I ordered a copy from Ihigh. Renee will have to go to Nashville 5 times so that they can put a radioactive pill inside her next to the tumor. They will leave it in for 2 hours then take it out. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for her. I don’t think she would have gotten to worn out if not for not being able to make any blood. |

My wife Renee is doing fine right now and has headed back to work. She is a RN and her getting to take care of and help people has gotten her spirits way up. I want to thank everyone for the prayers, kind thoughts and well wishes. I hope everything gets back to normal now. I haven’t posted anything in a while but I read the site everyday. Once again thank you very much. Greg |

Glad to hear the good news Greg. Your post points out the critical need for blood and platelet donations. These often make the difference for cancer patients and I would encourage anyone who is able to donate to do so regularly. A small act can literally save a life. -- Altruism is, ultimately, self-serving |
