First hospital visit

Went to the hospital for stomach pain on the 12th and the doctors discovered a tumor in my intestine. Pathology showed that it was Melanoma. Got home on the 19th, I have been resting and feeling better. I'm scheduled to see Dr. Hearsh in Tuscon in two weeks to discuss a course of treatment. I will be trying to post things as quickly as possible to keep everybody informed.

Hi Chio,

Jeff let me know about your blog today. This is the first I've heard about your health. I wish I were writing you for some other reason, but unfortunately people seem to reach out to one another when the news isn't that great. I know you're a strong person and I wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love
Darla(from Seattle)
