I know it's been a while since my last update, but after spending the last week talking to doctors, nurses and my insurance company my family and I have decided that we are going to have the surgery done at Indiana Medical Center in Indianapolis on July 25th. Jenn and I will be flying up there on July 23rd and visiting with Dr. Foster on July 24th. I will most likely be in the hospital 2-3 days and if everything goes well I will fly home on the 30th of July. The recovery process can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, so I will be staying home for that time. Once the procedure is complete the doctors in Indiana will preform a biopsy on the infected lymph nodes and determine if there is any cancer. If there is evidence of cancer in the lymph nodes I will most likely have 2-3 rounds of chemotherapy back in Orlando. If the lymph nodes are free from cancer, then I will just go under servillence and I should be in clear and cancer free.
I want to thank everyone for your support and prayers towards myself and my family, I could not have got through this time without it.
If I am able to, I will post updates while I am in Indiana. Once the procedure is complete and all ok, I will have my brother James send out an e-mail to you all.
Thanks again.

Andrew,
I missed saying goodbye to you at work and wanted to wish you the best on your trip and surgery, but have to do it here instead of in person.
You and your family are in my prayers - I look forward to seeing you back soon.
Wishing you all the best, Andrew. You'll do great getting over this next hurdle.
Scott
