I was able to contact Mike’s wife. The good part is most of his tumors are shrinking from the clinical trial he’s been on.

The less than good news is the tumor in his sigmoid colon continues to grow (it’s currently at 7.1cm) and is causing Mike a lot of pain and distress. She said he is really struggling right now.

That is all the news I have, but Mike is still fighting. I told her that he has been an inspiration to so many on this board, and he is often asked about.

Please turn your thoughts and your prayers toward Mike and his wife, Hillary.

Dave

  Dave,
  Thanks so much for the update. Lots of Mike fans here. Mike , we pray that that awful Siggy (someone else’s term) get knocked out by your current treatments and that you and your family can be comfortable and safe! We also lift up prayers for your care team, that they may continue to provide excellent care to you and find ways to make you comfortable.
  Amen

  Thanks so much Dave for sharing this, that is so thoughtful as I along with others are always looking for updates on Mike. Will of course send any thoughts and prayers Mike and Hillary’s way, I think of him all the time. I’m glad at least the clinical trial is doing something for some of the tumors, but so sad to hear about the sigmoid colon tumor growth and the pain that is causing. Will continue to hold him and his family in our hearts here and keep hoping for a turnaround with this soon.
