Good friends from the TC Community

They heard about my recent changes in my prognosis and decided that they wanted to do something that would help me and my family handle whatever we are dealt by raising funds. If you are interested in making a donation please do so by clicking this link

Update from my last Dr. Visit

I saw my oncologist the beginning of this week. We talked about Ifosimide and DTIC and why I had such a harsh reaction. We also talked about potential chemotherapy drugs, Gemzar and Taxotere. I'm still trying to decide whether I want to jump into chemo right now, or give my body more time to heal. The most troubling news out of the appointment was that my oncologist does not believe I would be healthy enough to get off a respirator if I had lung surgery. So, this doesn't rule anything out, it just means that I might need to give my body time off without pushing it like I have been with surgeries, chemos, and radiation.

My Cousin Jenny and her infant son Antonio came to visit

The whole family enjoyed getting to to visit with them this weekend. They arrived in late Saturday due to flight delays.

Here are some pics from the weekend:
