This is Duane DeArmond, Disco "D":) I am overwhelmingly humbled by all the kind words, the outflow of concern and of course the prayers from you all. I want to thank Randy aka "Bo" for setting this page up as well as old freinds like Wally, Tommy 'O' "Shaf" Reid my cousin and many others others who have posted. As it stands now I have cancer of the kidney. It has spread to my liver and lungs. The tumor om my kidney is the size of a softball. I just spent a few days in MD Anderson and my treatment plan will be completed Thursay and I have an appt. with my lead doctor at that time. The kidney will most likely be removed and I will have a chemo based treatment among others things to attack the other parts of my body which it has not spread. It has not spread to my brain nor my bones. I have my share of really bad days but I can assure you that this board makes all days easier to get through. have no doubt that I will survive this and I will no doubt be a better person
after it is over. I feel this way because I walk with the Lord and he is watching over me. May God bless you all and please keep the prayers coming!

Duane, we're praying and pulling for the best for you.

My son is a life-long kidney patient (13 years old) and we travel to Texas Children's once a month for his care there.

If you have any kidney-related questions, like if you end up needing dialysis while you go through chemo or anything, don't hesitate to email me. You can also call me through his website (click updates, click the "call me" button - Christian's Conquest)

Best of luck and God Bless!!!

Duane,

I'm too young to remember your time at LSU, but regardless you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you the best of luck in your battle with cancer and pray that God gives you strength to persevere.

God bless you and your family,

George
