My Mountaineer Brethren:
The news from the scans yesterday wasn't what we had hoped for.
The bone scan found a spot on my neck, rib and femur. The lungs haven't changed and they found more inflamed lymph nodes in my chest and abdomen. Needless to say this was like a kick in the junk.
They are going to do a brain scan to make sure everything is OK up there and I have signed up for a clinical trial. In the trial I have a 50% change for this new IV Immune therapy drug they've seen great success with or the normal pill therapy that they give folks now. We are obviously hoping and praying I get put in the IV group.
I'm not going to lie, this is getting very real but I'm resolved to focusing on God and my family. I will not give up and everyone's continued support, thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.
