Well this is one I will try and muster through,but,forgive me if I ramble...
Today,while on one of his normal routes,Proram stopped by Kauffman Motorsports owner Ernie Kauffman's main job at Henkels and McCoy to say hi and discuss our show that is pending,Scott was informed then of this and called me directly afterwards. Ernie's wife,Nancy,who we all know very well,has been diagnosed with cancer found while during a routine surgery for females. It had spread into one of her lymph nodes and had a mass inside her. The first prognosis was not very good and dimmed their hopes.
She was then sent to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore where she underwent more surgery to remove as much as they could of the cancer and do a biopsy on the rest of her internal organs. Nancy was then sent home to recover and await the results. They have their results back,and while we all know no cancer is good,they have been told they got almost all of it and whats left they feel should be taken care of with chemotherapy. The biopsies of the other organs was clear and she told me that was good news also. I called her today and she is in good spirits and when asked if there was anything we could do to help them,all she could do was say keep them in our thoughts and prayers. I asked her how she was holding up and she told me not to worry about her,but to worry about Ernie as he had been rattled. Scott will tell you when he chatted with Ernie earlier he had told him without Nancy he would be lost.
At any rate,Nancy & Ernie Kauffman both go out of their way to make us feel at home when we are there for our shows. Even on a drop in visit they open up and do whatever we need and have supported our chapter since we began this a few years ago. Its time we repay them with our thoughts and prayers as we all know how devastating cancer can be so they can get through this and Nancy gets well soon. Nancy will begin her Chemotherapy on April 4th and has 6 treatments to endure which will take alot out of her. I will continue to check in on her & Ernie and make sure there is as much help as they need to get through this rough time. Lets repay them by showing them how our family here responds when we have someone who is very ill. I will make sure they see the thread so they know they are on our minds and in our prayers. I will also post an address below for those who wish to send The Kauffmans a get well note.
GET WELL SOON NANCY !!!!!!... ... ... Andy
