Cancer update:

Many of you know that June 10^th 2010, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, a rather fast growing kind of cancer.  On July 6th I had surgery and I'm now at home recovering. The surgery went well.  We will not know until when the lab results come back, if that cancer has spread, or not.  I'm trusting God that all is well.  I view this whole experience as a positive experience and learned a lot about myself and cancer. The support that I have received from my family of friends has abundantly touched our hearts, for sure. Thanks so much for all your prayers and blessings.  By the way, for you guys that might be afraid of prostrate surgery, truthfully, it's a walk in the park.  No joke!  A little sore getting up out of the recliner but take a pill and enjoy the movies!...Wayne & Sarah Eck

Update 07/14/2010: Just got back from the doctor and was given a clean bill of health.  The lab results came back negative, no sign of cancer so he believes he got it all.  I do have to go back monthly to have blood work done to make sure.  First thing I did when I got home was to take my trike for a ride in 100+ degree temperatures.  You know, that was a great ride without that dark hovering cloud that had been there!  Picture below show the great big smile from the heart!  Anyways, a great big thanks for all the prayers and for a great and awesome God that can deliver us from the evil one!  Amen!!

Surgery on the 6th, 8 days later, I'm riding again!
