My son continues to improve. He is gaining weight (122 lbs) and doing many things for himself again. He has 2 more Chemo treatments before they will do another scan to see what is going on inside. He has started a reduction in the pain meds with palliative care, and doing fine with the lower dose (so far). We are hoping for good news from the scan and looking forward to what they will call a remission. The Doctors remain pessimistic and think we are just “dreaming” about this being close to over – only time really will tell. But we remain optimistic and hopeful. Thanks as always for your prayers and please continue to pray for him.

Third “new” chemo in the books. All is going well.

All is still going well with my son. He is starting to do things for himself again, which to me means he is getting and feeling stronger — and able to do them himself. We talked about him wanting to be strong enough to walk without the walker, and other things like that and are hoping to try and work on in the next few weeks. Thanks again for your prayers, and keep praying.

Thank you for your prayers! Second round of chemo went easily and again no side effects. He continues to do well and his weight at this last chemo weigh in was 116 lbs! This week I am discussing with him ways we might consider some changes now that he is feeling better. Things that might build or start to build back some muscle and strength. Next chemo is the 9th. I asked the doctor about many things last visit, but he keeps telling me we have to wait till next CT scan. He said after 6 rounds of the chemo, so for now we are waiting for that.

All is amazingly good here. Did you think I would ever be able to say that after all of this? Seems the radiation breaking up the mass and which caused the large infection (which had to be drained) has helped his overall condition. I am sure the 14 days of IV antibiotics helped too. This “new” chemo treatment (6/11) went well and just like before, he had none of the side effects except a bit of fatigue. That went away pretty quickly and resulted in him requesting to go out twice (which we did). First day, he bought a new phone which he needed, and then 2nd time to get a soundbar (which he then installed himself that evening) and to lunch at Applebees. He is doing more for himself, and moving, eating and generally feeling relatively well. He was 110.7 lbs right before chemo on the 11th. and oncologist said his blood work was looking good. And although the Dr. won’t test him to see about what is going on with the tumor/mass, we remain positive and hopeful. Second chemo of this round happens on Wednesday the 25th. Thank you for all your prayers and concern. Keep praying.
