Leukemia Confirmed

It has been confirmed that Troy does have Leukemia. A catheter has been placed into his chest and chemotherapy treatments will begin as early as tomorrow morning. He has been diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), which of all the kinds of Leukemia gives Troy the best chance for a full recovery. The doctors have indicated that Troy may be able to come home as early as Saturday where he will continue his treatment at home. Once the remission of the Leukemia has been achieved, Troy will continue his chemotherapy for the next few years in order to ensure that the remission is permanent. The remission rate for ALL is as high as 90%.

A ward fast will be taking place this Thursday on behalf of Troy and the Wendt family. Your participation would be greatly appreciated. With your prayers, we are sure that Troy will be on his way to a full recovery.
