My baby brother


This is my youngest brother, Ryan, and his girlfriend Alycia. They got to go to the Grammys (lucky). Ryan was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer. He had major surgery yesterday to remove nodules and lymph nodes. He will be at Huntsman Cancer Center for about a week and then starts the treatments and recovery. Weird thing is that this is my second brother to get it. My other brother, Andy, was diagnosed, treated and recovered about 4 years ago. What are the odds .... So as I sit here thinking about Ryan and wishing for a speedy recovery, I thought I would share a cute picture taken about a week ago.

I wondered who Ryan was from you FB post - glad surgery went well. Our best wishes for his recovery & treatments. They look so glamorous - I thought that was Christina A. with him at first glance :)

:-) I'll have to tell her! ha ha He will be in the hospital for about a week, give or take a couple of days. He's young (29) and in good shape so hopefully he will overcome this quickly.

YAY! I'm feeling much better, as long as I have the oxycontin close by...I am on mom's computer and was looking thru her bookmarks and saw your blog. I didn't even know you had a blog! I was touched when I saw a little blurp about me.
