On the mustache front, it is officially in it's creepy status. You can see in the picture below Dan had a Stache of epic proportions, my hope is that my creeper stache will blossom into something of Dans status. Stay tuned for a picture later. Kick Rocks Cancer.
About three months after our daughter was born in February, Dan started experiencing intense stomach pains, like a stabbing in his stomach. He went to the doctor to have it checked out, and they discovered that it was stomach acid coming up and burning the lining of his esophagus. They referred him to an ENT doctor, who did further tests, and discovered that he had a large mass in his neck. They ran about a weeks worth of tests and biopsies, and then found out that the lump was a lymph node that contained cancerous cells. they did a full body scan and found that nearly every lymph node in his body had been taken over by the lymphoma and that the lymph nodes in his abdomen were the biggest of all, about three of the largest tumors were as big as a tennis ball. He also had three tumors in his spleen. Based on the size of the tumors, the doctors estimate that Dan has had cancer for at least two years without knowing it (Lymphoma is nearly symptomless). Dan started a chemotherapy regimen shortly thereafter and has since had to go on leave from work and spend most of his time in bed due to the side effects of the chemicals that they are using to kill the cancer.
