Surgery Update
Well the surgery went well, however they didn’t take out any of the tumors out. When they opened me up they noticed that the tumors were still too big and they were too attached. My oncologist and surgeon made the decision to not do anything because I could have lost my entire bladder, rectum, kidney, and 1/2 my liver. Everything is functioning normal so they decided to staple me back up.
The next step is to try a clinical trial chemotherapy that is avaliable at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. The drug is an insulin like growth factor. I don’t know what that means, but studies have shown that this drug dramatically shrinks scarcoma tumors. My oncologist is working out the details and is going to set everything up for me. So I don’t know how often or how long I will be going to Ann Arbor. We will see.
Here are some sexy pics from my hospital stay.

I hope the treatment works out for you! And I’m glad the surgeons chose not to do the procedure.
Hi Nick! I’m a good friend of Brittany’s, and I just read her article on your journey to recovery. I just wanted to leave my well wishes, and tell you how inspiring and uplifting your story is. God bless, and keep fighting. You’re amazing!
Hi,I read about you in the Sunday paper. I just wanted to ask you if you had heard of the 47 day revivial that is going on in Lakeland Fla? It is aired live on direct tv on the God TV channel(#365) and on the internet. i don’t have the internet web site for it, but if you want it I can find out about it for you. This is an awsome revival that is going on down there and people are coming from every where to get the annointing of God and people are getting healed of every know diease. One lady this week even came on stage and said she felt God heal here…that she had a burning like electicty go through her and she had the same thing that you have and she said the tumors were so big and painful that she could feel them. But after she felt the burning go through her she could no longer feel the tumors and was going back to her doctor to get exrays to show and have it confirmed. So I thought you might like to see what is going on down there for yourself. If you can’t get it on TV let me know and I will get you the website to watch it live from. It is on every night at 6:00…it is on now and I am going to go watch it and pray for you. God Bless you!
The Lord forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. Psalm 103:3
The Lord has declared that He will restore me to health and heal all of wounds. Jeremiah 30:17
Nick– You go boy! A positive attitude will carry you everywhere! What you are doing is practicing The Secret! The Secret is by Rhonda Byrne and comes in a book or in a dvd. Very inspirational! I live it every day and every moment. It is about Positive Manifestation. It works. I am living proof. I have the book and will share it with you if you would like to read it. It changed my life. I know.. i sound like a walking billboard for it … and no I do not get royalties from it.. lol It just had such a profound effect on my life that I have to share it and it seems as if you are already practicing it. Next time you are at Carle and are in the cafeteria, ask for Rebecca. I work in the office. I carry the book with me everywhere. I would be happy to give it to you to read! You can also go to http://www.youtube.com and put in a search for The Secret. They have the first 20 minutes of the dvd on there.
You exactly right, Nick! You are not dying (you are living) and you are already healed!
God Bless You! You are such an inspiration!
BTW… love the videos and pics! They Rock! Feel free to email me too!
Joyce that is a great testimony. I will have to check those stations out, but I don’t think my cable is that advanced. I just have the basic cable. So it would be nice if you could send me the website URL.. thanks!!
Rebecca. Yes I have heard of “The Secret” I have the book & I have watched the video.
To me it is everything I have learned from church and the bible. So everyone else can learn it from the bible & chruch too.
Pretty simple stuff. Some of the same passages are in the bible, but they are just put in terms of what how other people have described/interrupted it.
