Something Wicked This Way Comes...

Something wicked is definitely a way to describe this disease. Yes, the cancer is back. For those of you just joining the blog, the type of cancer is "sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma"; a rare type of sinus cancer. The "undifferentiated" part is what makes this cancer so hard to kill. We will not be going to St. Louis to do a biopsy. They found a tumor somewhere behind his left eye orbit and left side sinus cavity wall. I don't have a lot of details at this time. We do not know the size or shape of the tumor yet. However, Dr. Haughey, the ENT doctor, is once again at the helm. We have the utmost confidence in him and his team. Denny is one of the few people with this disease to live longer than 5 years. We are waiting for the doctors to decide on a course of treatment. At this time, we know he will be scheduled for chemotherapy. I should hear something by 3pm today. Due to the aggressive nature of this cancer, they will be getting Denny in ASAP. "TheWoodruff4" team is back in battle mode. We are determined not to let this disease win. Right now, as you can guess, we are fighting shell-shock. We thought we would have more good days before this disease reared it's ugly head again. Unfortunately, we are not all in one place together. Dana is at the University of Alabama getting ready for finals. Daniel is in the Appalachian mountains working on a water management system to provide running water for some of the poorest people in Tennessee. Denny & I are home. However, once we get over the shock, we will pool our strengths together as we always have. What can you do to help? Please say a prayer for him. We believe in miracles. They are happening every moment of every day. Please ask God to grant Denny another one. Thank you.
