John is the most wonderful person.&nbsp; He is quiet, caring, very funny, can be quirky...you just have to know him to see it.&nbsp; Several months ago John had a hip replacement surgery.&nbsp; During the procedure, doctors found spots in the hip area and removed them at that time.&nbsp; Soon it was discovered that these 'spots' were cancerous but they thought they got it all.&nbsp; Months later, instead of getting less pain post-op, the pain worsened to the point that a 2nd hip replacement may be needed.&nbsp; Instead, they found that the cancer had returned and spread further down his left leg.&nbsp; The only option for this type of cancer is total leg and partial pelvis removal (hemipelvectomy).&nbsp; Obviously this is a hard thing to accept for both John and his family but they have decided that it is much more important for him to be around to watch his 3 wonderful children grow up than to not seek this treatment.&nbsp; There will be many significant changes in the near future so the support of friends and family will be very important. &nbsp;Please keep John &amp; family in your hearts &amp; prayers.&nbsp; Please leave words of encouragement on this page and we'll also keep you updated on the progress here.&nbsp; I &nbsp;will not be doing most of the work for the page, my best friend Res has offered to do this for me.&nbsp; Thank you for the love and support. ~ Laura
