A little over a week ago Steve went to a dermatologist to have a bump removed from his nose. Yesterday we received a call from the doctors office informing us that the results had come back as basal-cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer.
He has surgery scheduled for the end of this month. He will be receiving Mohs Micrographic surgery, the most effective treatment for basal-cell cancer. There's a very informative video about this treatment on the ACMS (American College of Mohs Surgery) website. His doctor actually established the Mohs surgery program at Tulane University, serving as it's director for almost a decade.
We will keep everyone posted on his situation and are hoping for the best. In the mean time, we ask for your prayers, as we pray to the Lord for healing and strength, and pray to St. Peregrine, the patron saint of cancer, for his intercession.

Gabe: "Ooooh, tough guy!"
