As we close out our 2012 season, we wanted to share an update on our Relay For Life Founer, Dr. Gordy Klatt:

"I'm doing well but still weak. It's a struggle eating right now but improving daily. I'll be starting another 3 rounds of chemotherapy in a few weeks. The pathology report after surgery showed good margins of resection and no spread of tumor to lymph nodes. I'm starting to see a few patients in the office again. Lou is doing well.
Hope to see you soon."

Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
