Staches for Steph

My smoking hot wife at MAMFest!
In August of 2009 a group of friends and I planned and held an event called MAMfest.  We chose to use our talents to do something meaningful.  We believed that wearing a mustache was a novel way to raise money and awareness for a cause.  So we all grew mustaches and encouraged people from all over Louisville to do the same.  Our facial hair growth, planning, and promotion culminated with a very large event where we honored the mustache and raised a substantial amount of money for an organization named Gilda's Club, a very special organization that provides support to people dealing with cancer.

Since 2009 the mustache has become something of a symbol or reminder of the close bond this group of friends share and of the good that can be done with an unshaven upper lip. These friends recently collaborated from across the U.S. to create a video message to Stephanie and they used their mustaches to help them.

Our friends have been a tremendous support system for Stephanie and I throughout her battle with cancer.  We felt this video should be shared and you will find it linked below.

I hope that everyone reading this has friends as thoughtful and loving as ours.

Surgery Update

Stephanie's surgery went very well yesterday afternoon.  It lasted about 2 hours and we arrived in her room at around 6:30 last night.  The biggest struggle for her so far is post operative nausea, which is to be expected. The doctor was able to do the entire surgery laparoscopically, which is completed without having to make major incisions.  Instead, she has 3 smaller incisions: 2 on her stomach and one in her side.  As expected, the mass was very small and the doctors were able to remove only a small portion of her kidney with the mass.  They placed a "JP Drain" which looks like a little grenade that you squeeze to create suction pressure in the would and it removes blood and fluid around the surgical site. The doctor confirmed that the mass looks malignant but he will not know with certainty what it is until pathologists disect and analyze the mass.  Fortunately, if it is malignant, the treatment/cure for most common kidney cancers is removal. ...

Steponme's 30!

By -
Today is Stephanie's 30th birthday.  A few months ago we certainly didn't expect that her 30th birthday would come after a very challenging start to her battle with Ovarian Cancer.  But the fact that she is here today healing and preparing to lose her last and final tube is a testament to what the last 30 years has built.  A strong willed, determined woman with the strength to take on whatever is thrown at her. I always knew that I married a very strong and independent woman but little did I know how strong she actually is.  Watching her push through all that she has endured over the last three months has been nothing short of painful.  What she has dealt with would have brought the toughest of tough to their knees begging for assistance.  Not Stephanie.  Stephanie, through each and every step, never let her spirit break and fought hard to get to the point she is at today. I am so proud that I am married to Stephanie and I love her with every fiber...

Pathologies

Just a housekeeping update.  We received the pathology results back from my partial nephrectomy (removing a piece of my kidney) and they were exactly what my doctors expected.  The spot on my kidney was a malignant tumor.  Specifically, it was Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. CCRCC is one of the most common types of kindey cancer.   This is exactly what my urologist was expecting, so no surprises for us.  He was able to get all of the tumor with clear margins so I was officially diagnosed and officially declared cured simultaneously. He will still continue to follow up with me and my CT scans that I get every six months through my gynecologist oncologist, although I statistically have little to no risk of developing kidney cancer again.  (But let be real, slim odds have kinda been my thing recently.  I told someone that I didn't win the billion dollar powerball because the odds weren't slim enough on this one) I met with my geneticist and she decided t...
