George Kellum
1108, 14 May 2014Received this from Russ Dowden concerning our friend, COL George Kellum. Please keep George and Julie in your thoughts and prayers:
All,
I am away from home, don't have my PC, and am hijacking Roger's Email Address to get a note to everyone about our friend George Kellum. George has been reluctant to let me spread the word about his health. However, I spoke with him today and he is agreeable to letting all know about what he is going through. The short of it is that George has been diagnosed with colon cancer. He has had both surgery - fairly extensive and, I believe, pretty much the excision of his colon - and chemotherapy and is currently at home in Carmel, Indiana recovering from both. The doctor's choice of chemo for him was fairly stout and George did not tolerate it well. In the next few days he will travel to Venice, FL, his and Julie's winter home and undergo additional chemotherapy treatments. This time the chemo will be less robust and he is hopeful it will be tolerated much more easily.
That's what I know for now but, with George's approval, I will keep everyone informed as I learn anything new ... russ dowden
