Update on the shock of finding out James has cancer.

Most of you know by now that last week after two trips to the doctor and a sonogram cancer spots were discovered on James' liver. The doctor just said I have some bad news after reading the sonogram and he showed us the spots. It was very obvious. I can't tell you the feeling that came over me and all of us. He has been so healthy and to be hit with this report so quick. He has been tired and sleeping a lot the last month or so . I suspected something was wrong. He first went to the doctor a month ago and he said it was a bacteria in the stomach but that proved to be incorrect.
Monday, June 28th he goes in for a needle biopsy to try to determine the source of the cancer. That will lead the doctor in the treatment she will follow. We covet your prayers and will give you a full report as soon as we hear. We love each of you and treasure every memory of you and the friendships we have had through the years. Thank you for your concern and for your prayers. Marion Bond
