I went to the doctor yesterday. We found out my cancer is progressing again. It was our hope that after my latest surgery in January my blood levels would normalize, but that is not the case.

At this point, treatment options are very limited and there really isn't much more doctors can do. We will continue to monitor the progression, and just see where that takes us. Alternative treatments are always an option but my wife and I have been dealing with this for 17 years.... we've heard just about every suggestion, so please don't make this post about that. We're use to the ups and downs associated with having cancer.

I know there are alot of you that keep us in your thoughts and prayers so I thought I would share this news with my IOW friends.

I will enjoy some great racing this season and I encourage everyone to do the same, we just never know when it might be our last race night.

From our previous talks we both know that attitude and spirit is the best medicine and source of strength. There is NO doubt you have that. See ya at the races buddy.
