Update: My Brother Marty

"Faith is unseen but felt

Faith is strength when we feel we have none

faith is hope when all seems lost."

Catherine Pulsifer

 

 

My brother Marty who has had a rugged journey with stage four pancreatic cancer that metastasized to his liver, who in the last two months endured four rounds of Chemotherapy Folfox (with more to follow), a stroke, a blood infection which turned sepsis, a stint that dislodged and pancreatitis…

Having cancer is not only a physical upheaval it also rattles the spirit and plays games in one's head. Having cancer takes every ounce of courage and grace to keep one's head above water. 

Finally, my brother had encouraging news his tumors are shrinking. 

Thank you for your prayers said

and please keep them coming as his journey continues. 

We are grateful for all the love and support we have been given xxx
