Dick’s Story

Site created on April 8, 2021

Dick went to see the doctor after having a constant stomach ache for a few weeks. He was told he had pancreatitis, his blood sugar was high, and he was tired. After a Blood test and Ultra Sound, MRI, PET scan, 1 biopsy on his pancreas and 2 on his liver, Dick was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer because of a tiny spot on his liver (Outside the pancreas). Dick has 6 children, 2 sons-in law, 2 daughters in-law, 6 grandkids, and a beautiful wife.  He and Dalene have a long journey ahead of them as they face chemo and a season of many unknowns. We are asking for many prayers; prayers for healing, prayers that God would show up in incredible ways, and that we would all see His goodness in this.
