Many of you know my wife, Karen, from some of the rallies she's been to. Most are aware she had amputation of her right leg in 1998 due to bone cancer. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with a new cancer in her pelvis/hip area, and had a hemipelvictomy. In August she was diagnosed with cancer again. There isn't a sarcoma treatment center in the Cincinnati area, and we were referred to a sarcoma center in St Louis. We have spent the past 3 days with different specialists and doing aggressive testing to find out if her cancer is a reoccurence or a new metastasis. We have to return to the St Louis center next week to find out the results. I just wanted to send you an update and to send thanks on posting the information on her benefit. PW folks are very special and we really appreciate the support we are receiving.
