Chris' update!

This is probably the easiest way to update family and friends about Chris.
Right now we know he is at a min. of stage 2 cancer. We went in this morning for a PET scan to find out if its gone into his body. We will know the answer to this hopefully tomorrow. If its gone into his body he is at stage 4 which is the worst stage of cancer you can have. If it hasn't gone into his body he is scheduled for surgery next Thurs. to have a big chunk of his leg taken out where the cancer was and they will also be removing lymph nodes in his groin area. They will test the lymph nodes to find out if the cancer has spread to those which we are figuring it has because both doctors said they were swelled up. This would put him in stage 3 cancer. IF he is moved to stage 3 or 4 cancer he will have to undergo interferon treatment. This is a treatment he will have to take M-F all day for 4 weeks and will make him incredibly sick. So this is where we stand right now. We won't know more until tomorrow or possibly next Thurs.
