So, we spent a couple of hours at MSKCC this morning and the outcome is that we’re moving to plan B. Initially we had hoped for the cancer to be localized enough for surgery but unfortunately that’s not the case and mission #1 now shifts to killing cancer cells. The diagnosis is metastatic stage 4.
I have an appointment at an oncologist tomorrow and my expectation is that chemotherapy will begin early next week.
Everyone should know that this new news doesn't change things much for me. I continue to feel generally "good" and, therefore, remain very positive.
To be continued…

Your are amazing - Plan B sounds great!
Hey jack,
Through times of joy and adversity, God reveals so much about ourselves and those around us. You have helped somany in the past, and God is using you now to inspire and bring others closer together. We are cradled in the palm of Gods hand, at times when it appears dark, His other hand is covering us for protection. Keeping our eyes on God and our trust in Him , he will reveal His plan and His purpose for us. God bless.

Jack,
Just want you to know that we love you and your family. We don't know what to say or how to say it, but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and you begin your treatment. We are only a phone call away if there is ANYTHING we can do.
love,
Sherry and Dan

Jack, as I said to you recently, you've climbed mountains, and I believe you'll make it up this one, too.
I'm thinking of you and hope to see you soon - on or off the bike.
Jack,
I'll be one more LOUD, INSISTENT voice praying for you when you begin chemo next week. With so many of us making noise, God can't help but hear us.
Willing and able to do more than pray,
sandi
