Tim’s Story

Site created on April 17, 2020

On Monday, April 13th, Tim was diagnosed with liver cancer.  It is stage 4, but as of right now we are waiting to determine where the cancer originated.  The oncologist believes it may be in the pancreas or bile duct.  We will learn more later next week.  Tim will be starting chemo on Thursday, April 23rd.  We appreciate all of you reaching out and sending your positive thoughts and prayers.  We can use them all!
