It's been quite a while since I've spoke publicly on Joe's medical condition.
The past year has not been kind to him. We were hoping 2026 would be better. It is not. He has lost 70 lbs of muscle mass. It's been extremely hard to watch.

Joe had a MRI on his brain this past Monday.
The brain scan was NOT clean. There is a 9mm mass on his left temporal occipital region. Because of this, he does not qualify for the UW trial. We feel sucker punched again. Dr Folberg of UW said he should go through radiation to kill that spot. Get another MRI of the brain, and IF there is an opening, reapply. This would mean another 4 or more of putting off the trial.
We had grand hopes that this trial would reduce the tumors that are kinking his stent from left kidney to bladder, not allowing the kidney to drain completely. So now he has to consider having the stent go through his back to drain the kidney into an exterior bag. He's very much against that.
He is meeting with Dr Platta on Monday to discuss the radiation.

This is Kelly, Joe Meronk 's wife. He's still fighting cancer. Today, however, we didn't get the news we hoped for. His cancer is progressing. The pain is getting harder to manage. Dr. Held, in Wis Rapids, is putting in a referral for Marshfield for a stronger chemo. And a referral for a urologist as the cancer is affecting the left kidney drainage.
Please continue to keep Joe in your prayers.

It's been a while since I've updated Joe's previous customers on his cancer journey:
At 10:15 yesterday, we were at Aspirus for day 1 of the last 3 chemo treatments. He always handles these really well with no side affects. Labs, then discussing labs and treatments going forward for *maintenan*, then chemo. Done at 3:30. Today and Wednesday are much shorter days. January 6th is his CT scan to see if any difference. January 9th we will meet with Dr Platta to see if radiation will bring down the growth on his left shoulder/neck area.

With cold weather not everyone understands electricity and how a simple space heater can cause a fire. Many older homes have non-grounded outlets.
People will use an adapter to use a grounded plug in these. That's a 🔥 FIRE hazard! Some people change the OUTLET to LOOK like a grounded one without 3-wire run to it!! How deceptive and again a FIRE hazard. I've attached a simple tool I use to test an outlet. PLEASE if you are in a home built in the 60's or older, invest the $15 in this tool and check your wiring before you use a space heater! Also be certain that you are not overloading your circuit breaker or outlet. Watch for signs that your space heater is melting (burning) your outlet. A 20amp outlet...connected to a 20 amp circuit is best for bigger space heaters.
