This is my cousin Alan. He and I are only a few months apart in age. We got married about the same time, and have children around the same age. He and his wife Melissa live in Arkansas and we don't get to see each other often. When we were kids, we were really close. I'd give him my corn on the cobb and he'd give me his black-eyed-peas (it was a great trade!) We even bonded over our love for The Dukes of Hazzard and beating up our younger cousin Ryan (don't ask!) Anyway, he found out last week that he has cancer. This past Monday he went to Little Rock and underwent his surgery. The surgery took approximately 3 1/2 hours. The surgeons did remove the tumor, the kidney, the entire spleen, and a lymph node close to the kidney. Afterwards, the doctors told Melissa that the surgery went extremely well. Recently, they got the test results back that the lymph node was completely free of cancer, which is fabulous news. As far as chemo and radiation, I haven't heard, but I would appreciate it if you would keep Alan, Melissa, Sydney and Carson, as well as his parents Rusty and Cookie and your prayers. Pray that their faith would not be shaken and that God will prove Himself faithful to them. He may get to go home this weekend if all goes well.
