Scott was diagnosed with cancer for a
second time in May 2009. (just TWO months after being cleared
and put into remission status from his first bout with cancer)
Scott is married to his wife Carrie, and together they have 7
children.
Originally, it was estimated that he would
be out of work for at least a year, as he undergoes a series of
treatments to try to get him better. Treatment began in May,
with the treatment on the brain tumors first, including surgery
for removal and radiation treatment. In June, they started
further treatment and diagnosis of the tumors on the lungs.
Carrie called the end of July, and she said they met with the
Dr. regarding Scott’s treatment and testing results.
Currently, the tumor(s) are shrinking, and
that was good news that they were happy to hear. Unfortunately,
the Dr.’s had to follow-up with other news regarding the type of
cancer Scott has. His cancer has a survival rate of less than
three years. He will continue to fight this and to get him as
much time as possible with his family, but they are looking at
the very real possibility that Scott will not be able to
completely beat this thing.
Carrie is a scrapbook designer for
www.paperthreads.com.
She sells her work as a means to stretch their family budget.
Her friends have realized what a strain Scott's illness has
placed on the family so they are holding a fundraiser.
You can view information about the
fundraiser HERE.
If you happen to use the electronic based diecut files, you may
wish to help them out by purchasing a

This is going to be a LONG HARD journey for the whole family,
and your continued support and prayers are and have been greatly
appreciated.
