Appointment

Dear Friends and Family

We finally have some news to share. Shelley will see a surgeon on August 8th at 3:30 p.m. We are told that his specialty is pancreatic cancer. He will likely determine the next step – possibly biopsy.

Your powerful prayers and positive energy are what will sustain us over the next while. We are very grateful for the words of encouragement and support – they are very meaningful to us and provide a sense of a network that is surrounding and holding us.

Our life is strangely surreal. Often we are “waiting” for a call from the doctor. Diane is moving towards compassionate leave from Bedford. We find ourselves at non-sense movies, long walks, visits to the beach and will try to spend over nights away when that is possible.

We will continue to let you know how life is unfolding for us.

Thanks

Shelley and Diane.
