Home again, home again...

  New Hampshire was just what the Dr ordered. With no cable or internet our time together was truly together. Fresh air and lots of Sunshine, board games, fireworks, an awesome view- plus the hot tub made for a wonderful relaxing reprieve.
  Now back to what's next. We have an intake appointment at the Smilow Cancer Center at Yale New Haven on Tuesday August 5th. They will do bloodwork and ask plenty of questions to determine if he will benefit from and if he meets the criteria for the trial. Fingers crossed and prayers said for a better path on this journey to recovery. Hope all is well with you and yours.

If at first you don't succeed...

Unfortunately, the CT scan showed no change with this last chemo regimen. No better, no worse. But... the Dr. still has a few tricks up his sleeve. He is working on getting Kenny into a new med study at Yale New Haven that has showed some promise with his type of cancer. This new chemo targets the tumor in a different way than the previous chemos- we will know more after vacation. So for now, we will enjoy the reprieve from appointments and chemo and plan our week of family time away from the everyday chaos that is our happy, hectic life. Wishing you all blessings and thanks for all your Love and support.

3rd times the charm?

Yesterday was the 3rd round of the new chemo. The port was acting up so 4 hours turned into 6 but it's better now. We met with the Dr and he will be doing a CAT scan on the 11th to see if this chemo is having a better result than the last. The nurse told us that if this one doesn't work, the Dr has one more medicine up his sleeve- I'm hoping for this one. The good news is we will be able to go on Vacation before the next round of chemo - so hopefully Kenny will be feeling good for the ride to New Hampshire. I think it will do the family good to spend some peace and quiet time together- no cable, no internet- just a lake and a hot tub :)
Here's wishing all of you a safe and happy 4th of July!
