I just wanted to update everyone on Dave's status. He went to the Nashville Oncologist, Dr. Patton, and got his results back from the biopsy this afternoon. Dave has non hodgkins lymphoma cancer. This type of cancer is very common in males Dave's age (15-34) and is very curable. The doctor says he is in the intermediate stages of the disease. His family and him were able to get an appointment with a great caner hospital MD Anderson and have left today and have an appointment for this Thursday at 6:30am. They plan on being there for a few days while the doctors run tests to see if the cancer has spread anywhere else. According to Dave's blood work everything looks like it is just in the one place, but the doctors will want to make sure that it isn't anywhere else. After that the doctors will decide what the best course of treatment is for Dave. Then Dave will be able to come back to Nashville and get his treatment here.

Once again, please email Dave at dave@davetough.com if you want to send immediate wishes or call me on my cell at (615) 308-3877. We are going to be setting up an update page on his website to give more immediate information as we receive it through this whole process so bookmark it for later reference and updates.

Dave wanted to let all his friends in Los Angeles know that he unfortunately will not be making the MEIEA Conference this upcoming weekend (and subsequent party) but plans to be back in full force next year.

Please continue to lift him up in prayer as he and his parents travel to Texas, for the tests that will be ran on him, wisdom for the doctors and the course of treatment that he will need. You will never know how much your prayers have meant to us. From the bottom of my heart thank you.

John 14:12-14 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
