Dear friends: I posted this picture a few weeks ago. It was my quiet way of marking a date on the calendar to begin my battle with a cancer diagnosis. I've been quiet because, a true rarity, I have not had the words. Imagine!? :) The diagnosis is Ureter Cancer. I will begin a trial drug soon for treatment. The cancer is aggressive but the treatment will match. After treatment, I will have surgery to remove the tumor and also my kidney will be removed. This is to make sure the cancer does not come back. The last month has been a roller coaster, to say the least. Please keep Melissa and the boys in your prayers. U.T. Southwestern Cancer Center is where I'll be receiving treatment. I hope to give updates as I have them. With love, Freddie
