Guess who's back...back again.

Although not officially determined a Triton tumor, the mass in my forearm has been called malignant by the pathologist at Duke. It's more disappointing than completely unexpected after knowing they were worried about what they had initially seen from the needle biopsy.

My team at Duke will meet in the morning and discuss treatment strategy. Most likely this will include a similar surgery (graft and all) and a different type of radiation. I really won't know all the details until tomorrow.

So there it is.

You got this, my Cheegy. I have faith in your strength. We are immediately and continuously praying for you, Verms, family and docs.
Question: Do you think it would create better vibes and possibly luck to call the doctors the "Team at Wake Forest" rather than the "Team at Duke?" You know, just for semantics sake. Just a thought.
One Love,
Hutch, Harper & Ziggy

you are truly amazing..your spirit and positive attitude is beyond inspiring...

and p.s we just taught Jack to say "give em' hell clyde"...we thought this would be a good time to teach him his first cuss word and let him say it over and over again.

Ash, you are my hero...from the store to wife of the decade...you two are SO lucky to have one another.. Quite the story you will have to tell your kids!

Love, Kelsey, Nathan and Jack
