Judy and Paul Wilson, '68       (Nov 2007)  Cancer happens!
Paul and Judy Wilson
Lots has happened in the recent past, and we would like to bring you up to date on goings on in our family. About a year ago, Paul noticed a small growth under his right jaw, just below his molars. We watched a while and then ultimately went to our physician to check it out further. Consultations followed with surgeons and Paul's Oncologist as well as naturopaths.

Long story short: Paul fina
lly had surgery to remove the tainted lymph node. A biopsy indicated some good news and some "just news." The good news is that there was NOT a reoccurrence of melanoma that Paul had had in 2002. The "just news" is that there was classic Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The good news is that it appears that all of the diseased nodes have been identified and removed and that Hodgkin's Lymphoma is very treatable and curable.

Bottom line: Paul is now cance
r-free. So, what to do NEXT? Well, after praying and much consultation and visiting with medical experts and others, we chose to proceed with the recommended chemotherapy course of therapy (ABVD, for those of you who are familiar with such), which is to last eight sessions (given every two weeks) followed by about a month of radiation therapy.
