[Shevis Irons]

Thanks guys, you have no idea how much this means to me. Prayers and well wishes are always appreciated .

I cannot express how surreal it is to walk into MD Anderson as patient rather than a visitor.

My first rememberence of this fine institution is when my father's close friend Randal McDonald was there. He was an important UT Alum and former managing partner at Arthur Anderson and CEO at Pennzoil. He was diagnosed and passed within three months. There have been at least a dozen other friends and family members I Have visited there at least a hundred times. I have witnessed great acts of courage and healing take place there. It truly is the best Cancer Hospital in the World.

As for me what was first thought to be simple Thyroid Cancer has turned out to be something all together different. What, they don't know yet. They're tired of doing biopsies because everything they biopsy comes back positive. I have a bunch of tests yet to do..... after being turned into a pin cushin and having my picture taken more than I ever have and that includes the Premieres of some of the movies I've done.

I have an incredible Surgeon (though she saw my Longhorn Belt and promptly told me she was a LSU Tiger (I already knew this from my research, I had to eliminate any aggy or sooner Doctors, right?)) The staff is wonderful yet somewhat oblivious to my perverse sense of humor (think Randolf Duke on Crack.) I wish I had a dollar for every time someone looked at me and just said.... " whatever."

As an actor, my life is pretty much an open book so I'll keep y'all informed of this journey The Lord has directed me to. It should be wonderful. Your prayers are always welcome.

Great contributor to the board though not much of a fantasy football player. . .

Get well soon, let us know what we can do.

Praying for you Shevis. Get well soon buddy.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Wonderful testament, Shevis. Rely on your Faith.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Well, I just talked with him and he said his wife was annoyed with him about something, so we know he is still his old self!

Well, I just talked with him and he said his wife was annoyed with him about something, so we know he is still his old self!

Smart money says that he put on his hospital gown backwards and was parading around the room telling his wife to "Check this out"

I have faith, Shevis. MD Anderson knows their stuff. They will get it right. btw, it's your attitude that keeps coming back positive. No worries.

Hook 'em!

Dennis is one of my best friends so, I will share a little history with you all.

Dennis mother has beaten cancer more than 4 times in her lifetime so, if there is one family out that can

beat down cancer, it's the Lawrence's.

I have been wearing a Livestrong bracelet for ten years, initially in memory of my father who died of mesothelioma in 1989. Over the years, as I have heard of friends and acquaintances being diagnosed with cancer, I would tell them that I was wearing it for them. Matt Cotcher was one of them. Now, I am adding Shevis Iron. Be strong. Stay strong. Live strong. 

 

[Shevis Irons]

Thanks Darrel and Duke.

That reminds me, I used to wear a Livestrong bracelet for my MIL up until she passed last year. I guess it's time to get it out of the drawer. Thanks Duke it means a lot.

 

[doc longhorn]

There is not a finer hospital, in the world, than MD Anderson. You are in good hands, my friend.

 

[HornEsch]

Shevis, you have a great Thanksgiving. You will be in my thoughts. Although I have never met you in person, it is obvious you are a great guy.
