Advent Peace to All.

I asked Bill if he would share with community some Excellent News he had just received.  His response—

Friends:

This is my first try at a group e-mail so I hope this will work and bring you up to date on my current status.  As many of you know I was diagnosed Oct 17th with stage 4 lung cancer which had spread to a spot on my liver and my adrenal glands.  After multiple scans and tests they started me on Infusion Chemo Therapy on Nov 21st still awaiting the genomic findings which arrived Nov 29th.

Yesterday my Oncologist, Dr Hughes told me that the kind of cancer (non-smokers adenocarcinoma) and the genomic test which showed BRAF- v600E was very treatable with two drugs taken in pill form and the infusion could be eliminated for now.  Great news for me as it appears to be a form of cancer that will respond to treatment very well.

I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that have come my way and I can tell you it is very uplifting.

I'll keep you posted on my progress, Thanks again for all the prayers.

Bill Hammond 

Advent Peace again, Everybody
