Thanksgiving and more results...
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving day with my family, hosted a brunch here on Friday morning, and celebrated Thanksgiving with Chris' family on Sunday. The weather was gorgeous, and we got to spend some time outside. Steve helped Chris get the tree down in the front yard on Friday, which was so nice of him. I'm not much of a help when it comes to those things...I went shopping! Actually, I have almost all of my Christmas shopping done - and wrapped! The house is almost all decorated as well. This the earliest I've ever been ready.
Chris had his 2nd biopsy this morning. They did preliminary testing on the sample and found it was positive, so we will go ahead with the treatment. It will probably be done on his Christmas break. They are going to do a cryo-ablation (freezing) to destroy the tumor - since it is so small. His pain is not too bad, but he's in bed for the day, I think. This is a bump in the road, but it's not a catastrophe. We knew when he was treated the last time that they may have left some live tumor there in the interest of preserving healthy structures in that area. God has been good to give us peace, and we are so grateful that Chris' pain is very minimal the last 2-3 months. Also, his doctor is great and has been so good to us - and so thorough. Again, thanks for the thoughts and prayers! We'll keep you updated with the latest.

We will continue to pray for you and Chris and for the cancer to be completely removed from his body. Is there another visit to a Arizona health clinic in your future? I know some nice folks down there that you can stay with.
