July 26, 2012  (5:17pm) Update from Rich Collier:

Following up on a year of treatment for rectal cancer, they did a PET scan on me last week and found active cancer in my hip, in my liver, and on my lungs.

I started another round of heavy-duty chemo on Tuesday, but there is no light at the end of this tunnel; it is not going away and the best they can do is to try to manage it.  I am on a short leash -- maybe as little as 3-4 years if the chemo works, but 6-18 months if it doesn't work.

From Janet's point of view, the worst news is that I am likely to lose all of my hair before my son Matt's wedding in September!  (JK)

Please keep me in your prayers.

I hope all is well with you and your family and your great work.

Cheers,

Rich
