Loving on the Shuman’s

Please help us raise money for Dennis and Jill Shuman to help offset their travel expenses when they go to Tampa for Dennis’s treatments!! We all know that it’s easier to heal when you don’t have as many outside stressors . Here’s Dennis’s story:

The beginning of October I told y'all of an update of my Carcinoid Cancer. I wanted to give you more detail of my journey some from the beginning to what God is preparing me for in the next few months ahead. Nine years ago I had a blockage in my small intestines where I had two major operations in two different hospitals in two different states in 5 months. It is said a person is born with somewhere around 23 feet of your small intestines. That sounds like a lot and it is to be wrapped up inside of everyone. What happened to me was I had two blockages in my small intestines 5 months apart. After my first 2 surgeries most of mine were removed, as a result I have less than 8 feet remaining. Until this past July my health has been mostly stable. I work out in a program called Livestrong through the YMCA. I have doctors I see on a regular basis who treat and monitor my disease. The strange thing about Carcinoid tumors is without warning the cancer can grow. In the past year mine grew 50%, I mentioned in my last post Jill and I are headed on a new course of treatment. In January I will be starting radiation treatments, the procedure is called PRRT. This course of treatment is to shrink or destroy my tumors and the plan is for me to have 4 rounds in 6 months. These treatments are to be done in Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa Florida and once I start we will have to stay at least 4 days in Tampa before I'm allowed to travel back home. Though this journey could be difficult my faith is strong, and just knowing that I have friends and family who love us, well I’m ready.I Fight the Fight and I know you Fight with me.Please continue to pray for Jill and I and my family.I can do all things through him who strengthens me.Philippians 4:13 ESV
