So if you haven't read Mandy's blog yet...please read it now.

Just know we're obviously shaken by this and we will inform all of you by whatever means we can as we get more information. For more information on testicular cancer you can read the Wikipedia article.

I really wish I knew why the last year and a half have been so hard for my family. It's not fair and I can't say that I'm happy with the way we're being treated but I will say that I remain faithful. I found out I had what appeared to be cancer on the day of my biological father's birthday who died of cancer when I was 8.

My parents and sister are coming for a visit on Tuesday of this coming week and will leave on Sunday. We're trying to route the emergency information through the Red Cross to try and get my brother sent home from Iraq.

Prayers, emails, text messages are all welcome.
