So sorry to hear Val. He and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope it all turns out OK. I am glad to hear that it is treatable.

Well we got the results from the CATscan and PETscan.

He has a very rare from of Hodgkins. We thought that was bad but the doctor said it is good as it is the most treatable of all of them. 1 in 10,000 Hodgkins patients get it. It is the slowest spreading cancer.

However, he has passed stage 1 and is stage 2. They found some in his chest besides his neck. This means that instead of 3-6 weeks of chemo he will probably have 9 weeks of chemo but as a out patient. One treatment a week as an out patient.

Monday he goes back to Portland where they will be putting a tube in his arm that has to stay there till his treatment is complete. Then Wednesday, the 20th, on my daughters birthday , he goes back to Portland to start his treatment.

Hopefully, all he will have to have is chemo. They don't want to operate on his neck as he could lose use of his shoulder or arm, or any number of things because of all the nerves in the neck. Another option is to do surgery on his chest but at this point we are not even considering that option.

My daughter is freaked out because some people reject chemo and die from it. She said if that happened, every birthday for the rest of her life would be horrible. I am hoping and praying that he goes through chemo with flying colors. He is a strong healthy boy and this cancer hasn't slowed him down one bit. I am sure the chemo will, but hope it doesn't affect him too bad. We can hope he will be one of the lucky ones and go through chemo with very little after effects.


I will keep you updated later. Please continue with your prayers as I believe they help.

Hugs,

Valeria

Thank you Valeria for the update. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for the update Val. My prayers continue for your grandson and your entire family. On an upnote, I know a young lady, now 11, who went through this very same thing about 5 years ago. It was a tough journey for her and her family but she survived and is now a very active normal little girl. So hang in there hun
