Spencer’s Story

Site created on March 27, 2018

As most of you know, I've been fighting a rare form of T-cell Lymphoma for the past year. I have visited M.D.Anderson and have been following their suggested chemo protocols.  Unfortortunly none have worked. This form of Lymphoma strikes only 2-3% of the population  so they really do not know how to treat. I just finished my 5th protocol witout success.  The doctors at Anderson want  to try total body radadtion and Cathy and I will be going back to Houston soon to begin this treatment.
I want to thank all my friends for their prayers, words of hope and offers of help.
God Bless each and every one of you. I or Cathy will update here periodically.

Spencer Russell Update

Journal entry by Spencer Russell —

Cathy and I have decided no more chemo.It has had no effect on this cancer and as I said in the initial update,radiation is my only and last option. We have consulted with several oncologists with different opinions if this would be successful. 
I guess with prayers God will point us in the right direction. 
As always we appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts from all our good friends.
