Hi everyone...we received news that the intense treatment is only for one month, March, so we will not have to go to the clinic or hospital as often as we first anticipated.
Jon did get his MRI done on his pancreas and it is still the same. They still don't want to operate until his immune system has improved tremendously so they will continue to monitor it. We did have to have an endoscopy done last week and they took quite a number of biopsies to ensure what they saw on the camera was the same that they see through a microscope. We expect news of the results today. We were admitted to the hospital last week and fortunately we only had to stay one night. We did not leave til 8:30pm the second night but at least we were able to come home.
Jon is suffering right now from a head cold and because of his condition, it will take awhile for him to recover. The treatments went well last week and we are returning this Wed for 4 more daily treatments. Then we should get a two week reprieve, except for blood work, then hit maintenance early April.
We were told this week that it is highly possible for him to return to Summerville High School in August of this year and he is beyond excited. He will still miss some days due to chemo but we will work it out. He just wants to get back to school to see all his friends. There is also a possibility that he can go to camp through Camp Happy Days in July since they will have a full medical staff attending the whole week. We are still working on this but it would be wonderful for him to be able to do so.
Thank you, everyone, that continue to pray for Jon's recovery. We are heading in the right direction and see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as completing all of this. We really appreciate all of you keeping him in your prayers. Take care and God bless you.
