Where are we now?

I have been horrible at keeping this blog going!! I will try to do better!

Jason went back to Chicago for treatment on the tumor in his neck. After several treatments it was not working so we went back to Dr Chua for some more options.

The treatment Dr Chua came up with is a big one! Her words...."I'm throwing the kitchen sink at you!"

Every week Jason will be receiving Erbitux, and every 3rd week she will add Taxol and Carboplatin to the Erbitux. That is 3 cancer treatments in one!

Several weeks into treatment.....IT'S WORKING! The tumor is shrinking! Now for the other stuff. His hair is almost all gone...no biggie. The Erbitux has caused him to break out really bad. His poor head is the worst! Scabs all over and they hurt. The Taxol is killing the nerves and in turn causing Jason to lose function of his left arm. (He's left handed) All minor when in exchange for his life...but it has really been weighing hard on him. He struggles every day and I see it breaking his mental well being.

The kids are hanging in there. Obviously the news of the tumor shrinking helped with that. Faith has made a team for their schools relay for life event. It's nice to see all the kids that are around us as our "family" sign up to walk. It's going to be a great event! Just working on getting all the kids $100 in donations. Faith has already raised $140!!
