While on Christmas break Byron was working in his home when he felt a "pop" in his arm. They thought it was just out of place but went to the hospital anyway. They did an X-ray and said he broke his arm. Where he broke it, it can not be put in a cast. After reviewing the X-rays and CT scan they found his arm lining was thinning and there was spots showing up that may be cancer. Sure enough, it turns out he has bone cancer. The type he has is called multiple melanoma, It is throughout his whole body and they give him 3 to 5 years. Byron will have to start chemo. Byron's wife has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She is in need of a special back brace that will cost $1,200. It Is a hard shell brace that she needs to wear or be confined to a wheelchair. They are having difficulty getting food stamps and don't know where to turn for help. They have asked everyone to put them on your prayer lists. "We know prayers work and we sure need them right now". If you would like to make a monetary donation you can make it to Byron and Lisa Halfhill or contact me and I will make sure they get the donations.Byron had surgery to put a rod in his arm on Tuesday January 12, 2010.
