It all started in Dec 2007, Danny had a mole removed from his back, which came back positive for Melanoma. So he had to have a larger portion from his back removed and also a sentinel node removed. That lymph node came back negative. During a 3 month followup CT, they found an enlarged lymph node under his right arm. So hey went in and removed 2 more lymph nodes and they came back negative. Danny's surgeon noticed a lymph node farther back that was big but did not remove it trying to preserve Danny's sense of feeling in that arm and prevent swelling(
lymphedema). One week later, his surgeon decide this one had to come out. So for the 3rd time in 2 weeks , Danny went to surgery and had another node removed. This time it came back positive. So it was decided all his lymph nodes on that side needed to come out. So Danny faced another surgery last week to remove any nodes that remained. As a family, we are adjusting to the news and preparing to fight.
We need your help in 2 ways.
1. We need your prayers.
2. We need you to post on this blog words of encouragement and support for Danny.
I will be updating this blog often with updates so you as family and friends can know whats going on.
