On February 6th 2008, we discovered that Aaron has squamous cell carcinoma. It started in his right tonsil and has spread to his throat and to one lymph node. We have elected to have surgery for removal of these affected areas on February 27th. The surgery will be done at UAB and the cure rate for this type of cancer is 75%. Depending on the pathology report, further treatment may be necessary (radiation). Recovery will be painful, as it will involve removal of throat tissue.
We covet your prayers for Aaron, our family, and Dr. Magnuson as we prepare for surgery.
Although this has taken us by surprise, we know that it hasn't taken God by surprise. We don't know exactly what our future holds, but we do know who holds our future, and we are trusting Him. Please pray for us. We will keep you updated!
In Him,
The Acker Family
