February Greetings!

We have been busy this month already starting with Patty having a total thyroidectomy on February 4th. The surgery was elective since a very large goiter has continued to grow over the last 17 years.

After surgery the doctor told us that it was a blessing Patty chose to have the surgery since the 4 smaller nodules on the left side were cancerous. She had already had the larger goiter biopsied before surgery since it more than likely would have cancer, but did not. The smaller nodules (not normally cancerous) were cancerous.

Thyroid cancer, if you have to get cancer, is the one to have. Ninety-five percent of the time the cancer never returns and that is great.

We both are praising the Lord for His protection and another opportunity at a longer life to serve Him. We thank all of our friends and especially our family for their prayers and love. PRAYER WORKS!!
Love,
Patty & Rod
