Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted for a while things have been really busy. Kirk is doing well. He has been getting out a lot, going to eat, going to games, and the movies this past weekend. He started his third round of chemo yesterday and so far is doing O.K. We met with Dr. Swan before he started and he told us that by looking at some blood markers the chemo seems to be working. The marker he is using is supposed to be around 150 but Kirk's was over 400, now after two complete treatments Kirk's is down to 242. Dr. Swan said that he wanted Kirk to take this treatment and then one more and we would start tests again to see what to do next. Kirk is eating and putting on weight so that is another good sign. It is amazing in going through this how many people's lives cancer has touched but the good thing is it can be cured or in some cases treated to where the people can still have good lives. We have met many wonderful people with extroardinary stories. Well thanks again to everyone for your support and prayers. We love you all.
God Bless!

I have been diagnosed with cancer. The cancer is of unknown primary which means they do not know where it originated. I have several tumors on the bone. I have be working with the Cleveland Cancer Center and an oncologist in Abingdon. This site is for my friends and family to see how I am doing each day. Thanks for checking in. I really appreciate everyone's prayers and concern. Thank you.

Hey, what great news! Daily prayers continue for you and your family. It was wonderful to see you at the awards ceremony last night, and especially for Matthew to receive the Lutheran scholarship. Keep the faith, keep praying, and keep getting well! We love you!
It's great to hear that Kirk is progressing with his treatments and is able to attend all this year end stuff. You're still in our prayers every day, and we will continue praying for a full recovery!! We will probably see you at graduation. It's hard to believe that is only two weeks away.

HEY KIRK, JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT WE STILL THINK ABOUT YA AND THAT WE ARE PRAYING FOR GOOD THINGS TO COME.COME SEE US SOMETIME AT 2 WEST IN BRISTOL
So glad to hear you are doing much better. Saw David Kauffelt at the Southwest Virginia Governor's School Banquet last night. His daughter Paige goes to school with Kent. He was remembering your time at Va Tech together. He told Kent if they ever need anything while at Tech to call him. He said to tell you hello.Regina
Glad to hear you are doing well. We have been traveling and we are home again. We hope to be in your area again in about 2-3 weeks. God bless you.
Hi,
Haven't heard from you all in a while. I pray that no news is good news! I continue to ask God daily for your complete healing.
God Bless you all!
