Good News – No we’re not going to STJ yet.

Post by FlaGeorge »

As many of you know, my wife has been battling a very rare lung cancer called Mesothelioma which attacks the lining of the lung. This past May, she had surgery to remove the lung lining in hopes that this will get rid of the cancer.

We just arrived back from Houston where she had her 3 month check up. All tests came back negative and she is cancer-free at this point.

Our thought & prayers go out to Bill in Va as well as to all the folks who are suffering from an illness. As you can imagine – something like this will change your life forever.

May God watch over all of us and guide us along the path that he has chosen for us.

God Bless
FlaGeorge & FlaSteph
