I went in for chemo today (so I thought).

After some disucussion with the oncologist, it was determined that I might be a good candidate for a clinical trial. This trial involves no chemo (yay!)

The basis of the treatment involves building up ones own immune system, making it strong enough to fight the cancer on its own. I will be meeting with the specialist on Tuesday, April 2nd to learn more about this procedure.

As for now, I'm just going to enjoy these next few days.

I am feeling a little better today. I have the new regiment of chemo scheduled for this Thursday, March 28th. Thank you again to all for your love and support.

We got the results of my PET scan. Apparently, the R-ICE Chemotherapy is not working. The doctor wants to try a different regiment of chemotherapy. I will get started on that treatment sometime next week. Hopefully that regiment will be the one to overcome this aggressive cancer.

I went in for labs and a PET Scan on Wednesday March 13th. The results of the labs showed that my phosphorous and potassium levels were dangerously low due to ten days of vomitting, which caused dehydration. If not taken care of this can affect your heart, kidneys, etc. I was admitted to the Huntsman immediately. I responded well to the treatments and I was released 48 hours later. I am feeling much better. They would like to get started on my next round of chemotherapy on Thursday. For now I will enjoy my short break.

After a week of nausea, dehydration, and passing out I am finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Today was the first day I have really had any kind of appetite. I was able to enjoy a small Rumbi rice bowl that tasted really good. Hopefully it's the beginning of more good meals to come.

The last 24 hours have been a little rough. The anti-nausea medication has not been able to keep up with how toxic this chemo treatment is. Hoping to feel better in the coming days.

Just wanted to give you an update of what has been going on this week . On Friday I started my second round of R-ICE chemotherapy. It was a three day process, I stayed overnight at the Huntsman from Friday to Saturday.  I was discharged from The Hospital on Saturday evening. I am feeling better on this round than the previous one. I appreciate all of my ward family for holding a special fast in my behalf today. I can feel of your love and prayers. Thank you all so much!
