Headed to Nashville

Shortly after M&M’s trip to Chicago to visit the Block Center, Marshall received the results from his first scans since his surgery in November. Unfortunately, the scans revealed new lesions in his liver.

With this news came new decisions to be made about Marshall’s course of treatment. After consulting with his doctors, it became apparent Marshall would find the most opportunities working with a cutting edge cancer center with access to advanced technology through clinical trials. Thanks to amazing family friends, Marshall was referred to the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI) in Nashville, Tennessee - a cancer center known for its oncology trials.

​M&M went to Nashville in early March to visit Sarah Cannon. Before his appointment, Marshall and Megan spent a few days experiencing the city. Marshall's Uncle, David Connor, is a Nashville local and alongside the the rest of the extended Connor family, arranged for M&M to stay in the Hermitage hotel for the weekend. David also sent M&M to attend the To Nashville with Love concert benefiting victims of the March 2020 tornado. Thank you to our Connor family for making their weekend unforgettable!

Following Marshall’s appointment at Sarah Cannon, we got the great news that he had been accepted into at least 1 trial which would begin on March 17th. Since then, Marshall has been accepted into more clinical trials at SCRI giving him many courses of action.

With this news, M&M made the decision to move to Nashville for the foreseeable future so Marshall can settle in during his treatment. They packed up their things and headed to Tennessee on March 16th. They are renting an adorable house on the east side of the city where they can feel at home and even bring their dog Bogey along for the journey. Marshall and Megan want to especially thank you for all your support - your generosity allowed them to find this lovely place to live while Marshall undergoes treatment.

Our family is incredibly grateful to the close family friends who helped make these connections with Sarah Cannon and for your advice and encouragement along the way. We thank God for bringing these opportunities to Marshall and Megan and thank all of our family and friends for your love, support, and constant prayers.

God is truly at work in Marshall and Megan’s lives. Please continue to share his story and pray for them as they embark on their next chapter.
