Pastor Buddy’s Blog

Hello everyone,

I’m writing this from the hospital, standing next to Bro. Buddy’s bed. He came through the surgery just fine and is resting comfortably. The surgeon told us he removed a lymph node about the size of a baseball. It does appear to be lymphoma but they won’t know exactly what kind until further tests are done on the removed node. Bro. Buddy will meet with an oncologist later this week to determine the precise course of treatment, which will probably include some sort of chemotherapy, possibly in conjunction with radiation therapy. That treatment will be dictated by the type of lymphoma, which the further testing will reveal. That’s all the update I have now. Bro Buddy is doing well, in good spirits and will be discharged fairly soon. He asked me to let everyone know via email since he probably won’t feel up to getting on the computer soon. Thank you for your prayers!

Blessings,
Nathan
