In February of 2024, his life changed forever. Out of nowhere, Lance, the patriarch and provider of our large family, was experiencing trouble breathing, enlarged lymph nodes, lethargy, and body pain. After several visits to hospitals in Edmond and OKC, doctors discovered his lungs were filling with fluid and determined he might have blood cancer. They sent samples out to specialists at MD Anderson in Houston, who finally diagnosed him with a very rare and extremely aggressive leukemia known as T-Cell Prolymphocytic, or T-PLL. Since there is no cure for T-Cell PLL, the only course forward was to try various aggressive chemo treatments and clinical trials. He continues to fight as hard as he can, but the chemo and the cancer are taking their toll on his body. s the treatments ramped up, so did the adverse effects. Since getting admitted to the hospital full-time, our father has suffered: - Chemo toxicity - 4 AFib attacks - Fluid in lungs - Blood in lungs - Lymph node removal -Growing cancer cells in Bone Marrow And most recently, doctors discovered he's been silently experiencing dozens of seizures while awake, which has landed him in the ICU for the last three weeks, and led to: - A recent catatonic state - Delirium On September 10th our family decided to moved him back to Oklahoma City so that family, friends, and loved ones can spend the remaining time by his side. we are needing as much prayer as possible as we navigate these uncertain days ahead. Thank you for the constant messages of support and kind words. We read all of them and know we aren't alone in this horrific fight against cancer.
