Today Mike saw a sarcoma specialist at UT Southwestern. The specialist suggested Mike move toward treatment at MD Anderson. MDA has more options for clear cell carcoma and clinical trials. They are currently preforming genetic testing on the sample tissue collected during his surgery. This will allow them the opportunity to better tailor his treatment specifically to his cancer. If you have been following Mike’s story, you know this is not a life style cancer. It is extremely rare and little data exists on the cancer as a whole, from origin to treatment. Mike will have scans at the end of this month in Fort Worth and then they will be reviewed at UT Southwestern at the first of November. He should be able to see a physician at MDA in early November. 

Mike is in full blown physical therapy, he is doing an amazing job. His bandages are off and he is well on his way to becoming more independent and mobile. 

We are still asking for prayers and support. As they transition to traveling to and from MDA, there will be needs. Please check on them, serving them does not always mean monetarily. Mike would love to hear from you and Lauren needs the support as well.
