Mike called a little while ago, he's seen the docs.....They are flying him to Landstuhl, Germany for the surgery and biopsy...they are almost certain it is basal cell...if it is cancer, they are sending him back to Ft. Campbell for further treatment(?) and he cannot return to that environment.....if it is not cancer and they are mistaken, he would head back to his troops in Iraq.......they will not remove it there, they are not set up to do biopsies, as they would have to freeze it and send it away to be analyzed and that could take weeks....so he has no other choice but to go to Germany, which is better in any case.

thanks all for your thoughts and prayers....another bump in the road of life.

Thannks for the update, Mystery! Glad he's getting it taken care of in the best place. When will he go to Germany?

Please keep me/us updated.

Prayers for both of you!
