Art was diagnosed with stage IV-B Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal cancer about two weeks ago.
The tumor started in his jaw, and has moved to the back of his throat. This is a difficult time for him and our family. Receiving the news was one of the worst days imaginable of our lives. He is a Dad, Grandpa, Peepaw, Husband, Confidant, Colleague, and best friend. He's a very humble man. He's a US Army Veteran and served as a Military Police Officer for 3 years.
He has been employed with Wolters Kluwer Health for almost 22 years in many capacities.
He has a long road ahead of him and we ask for all the prayers we can get for his recovery. Art's Surgery @ John Hopkins Cancer Center is tentatively scheduled for 12/17 or 12/20 barring any further complications. They will be removing his lower right jaw (mandible) and possibly partial top right. They will be replacing that with part of his leg's fibula bone. He will then be getting radiation after healing.
We're asking for all the support we can get at this time, even if you can only help with cooking a meal for them or mowing the grass for Art while Mom devotes her time caregiving for him. Art, fortunately, has excellent Health care, but as we know it doesn't cover the added cost that cancer brings about with Deductibles, Lodging, Meal & incidental expenses.
We ALL thank you very, very much.
