i don't like to use the word hate, but right now, i HATE melanoma. with a passion. marcus went back to MD yesterday for repeat scans-in june they found 2 new spots in his lungs that were 5mm in size-but they weren't sure it was melanoma and wanted to do repeat scans yesterday to compare. well, now there are at least 4 nodules-12-15mm in size.....surgery is not an option because they are in both lungs and scattered. we go back sept 10 to discuss treatment with dr. kim-it will probably be a combination of chemos, vaccines, trials, we aren't quite sure yet.
marcus and i are both in shock. we just knew that the spots were some type of inflammation and would be gone. we were floored with the news. he truly needs every prayer he can get...he is so strong and is ready to fight this monster with all he has-and i am behind him 200%.....

Mindy and Marcus, be strong... As serious, frightening, and painful this is for both of you, remember laughter is the best medicine and Marcus CAN beat the ___ out of this thing. Will educate myself more on the subject. Love always, Brian
Mindy,
The prayers are in full force and nonstop even as far as Panama and Chile...I have Faith and with the Faith and strength that you and Marcus have I know that God will work a miracle....I know it won't be easy and it's been said that God won't give you more than your shoulders can carry....but if there are many shoulders together think how much they can hold. I love you, Marcus, Sela and Sloane so much....and I believe it will be ok....although it might be a tougher journey than ya'll have already been through I know ya'll are strong enough to beat this especially with God already on your side.
Love,
Mom
I am not anonymous anymore
Love you!!!
thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. we trust in the Lord and we know He will take us through this nightmare-and we will be better because of it.
Mindy, I am so sorry to hear this; I really thought the bad stuff was behind Marcus. I understand the "HATE", the anger and frustration. DO NOT give up hope and ALWAYS have faith.... isn't that what you've told me for the past 3 years??? God and His goodness will prevail. You and the family are in mine and Brian's prayers. Please let us know of anything we can do. Much love, Cindy
Hey Mindy, if you or marcus ever need anything, let us know. Michelle and I will do everything we can to help you through this.
