I got some encouraging news from the doctor this week. The scans show the tumor has shrunk significantly, almost down to nothing. That’s a big step forward, and I’m thankful. The plan now is two more rounds of chemo, followed by a combined round of chemo and radiation after that. So while the treatment is doing what it’s supposed to, the journey isn’t over yet.

I know it feels like something to celebrate, and I appreciate the love, but I also want to stay realistic. This isn’t a finish line. It’s more like a mile marker, and there’s still a long road ahead. I’m trying to stay grounded and faithful through all of it, one day at a time.

On top of that, the curve balls just keep coming. Between doctor appointments, new bills, and unexpected pet and car costs, keeping afloat financially right now is a lot. If you’ve shared a kind word, said a prayer, or helped in any way, thank you. That support means more than I can say. If you feel led to share the fundraiser or help keep the momentum going, I’m deeply grateful.

Through it all, I’m leaning on my faith, and grateful for you walking along this journey with me. - Mike

Why this website?

We understand and appreciate everyone reaching out and offering your love and support. However, as Mike focuses on his treatment and recovery, and as our family navigates this challenging time, managing the sheer volume of phone calls and individual messages can become overwhelming. Even with the best intentions, it can be difficult to consistently provide detailed and accurate updates while also prioritizing Mike’s rest and well-being.

This website allows us to: 🔽
  • Share updates efficiently with everyone at once.
  • Provide accurate and consistent information.
  • Give Mike and our family the space we need to focus on his care.
  • Offer a place for you to leave messages of support and encouragement.
  • Share helpful resources and links for financial support.

We will try and post updates at least twice a month and you can also sign up to receive an email for updates here.
