Rob’s Story

Site created on September 29, 2022

Cancer....the words no one wants to hear or is prepared to hear.  Rob's story started with a little "catch" he would notice behind his breastbone when swallowing food.  On September 15, 2022, an endoscopy located a tumor located near the base of his esophagus, thus starting our journey into a world of metastatic esophageal cancer and of so many uncertainties. Yet we are so uplifted by all of you and by a God who is bigger than all of what we are facing in the months to come. We are hoping this will be a place where we can journal what is going on but also be a place where our dear family and friends can visit for updates too.
