My boss, Dr. KC Donnelly is one of the most caring, down to earth, wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of working for. He greets me with a smile each day and genuinely loves his work and genuinely cares for his staff. He is the department head for the Environmental and Occupational Health Department at The Texas A&M Health Science Center, School of Rural Public Health.
Last year he was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his esophagus. He went through treatment(chemo and radiation) last winter and underwent surgery to remove the tumor in February. He came out of the surgery "with no evidence of disease". He as well as his doctor was thrilled with his outcome.
Unfortunately in late June his scans came back showing that the tumor was back and larger in his esophagus and he has five nodules in his liver. He made the tough decision to start another round of rigorous chemo. He has just finished his last treatment for this round and is having all of his scans run again today.
Please keep Dr. D in your prayers for positive results. Pray his chemo is working. He is an amazing person. He loves his family. He loves his life. And his fight with Cancer is going to need all the prayer he can get.
The picture above was taken by Dr. Donnelly in Montana in 2005, I think it is such a beautiful picture!
