Harry’s Story

Site created on May 25, 2018

At Thanksgiving, almost 10 years ago, Harry's discovered he had colon cancer.  Since then, he has been through radiation, surgery, chemotherapy and lots of other adventures.  On May 24, 2018, Harry's doctors discovered a new tumor in his right temporal lobe.  As he always so succinctly puts it "it went from my butt to my brain!"  


We are all thankful that there is no pain associated with the tumor, and the doctors are encouraging Harry to do low dose radiation for a few weeks to slow the tumor growth.  Check out our journal entries to get the latest.  Thanks!
