Cancer Really Does Suck

 Last week was a pretty rough week.  We had a friend and a coach who battled cancer for 12 years pass away.  For the last 5 years we have spent our entire summer with him and his family at the baseball fields.  He was only 43 years old and leaves behind a wife and 3 children.  This has hit home for me for obvious reasons.  Cancer is a very scary diesease but the research they are doing is helping and they are starting to figure it out.  Our support and love goes to the Kap family.  #fightlikekap

The night of his funeral Jen and I headed to LA for another treatment.  The kids headed to Fish Laje with their grandma and grandpa Jensen.  We have been fortunate to have family and friends be able to help us out sooooo much.  We are very appreciative of all the support that has been provided to us.  The treatment went well.  I was given a combo treatment of both Ipi and Imo-2125.  The last couple of times I have felt pretty crappy with some flu like symptoms.  This time there were none.  My liver continues to be inflamed, which the doctor thinks is a good thing.  I think the assumption is that an inflamed liver is fighting an infection or disease.  We were actually done at the hospital around 2:00 in the afternoon which gave us some time to head to the ocean.  We spent our time taking a walk along the pier and beach.

When we got home on Saturday the kids were still at Fish Lake so Jen and I went to the USC vs Utah football game.  People have asked me where my alegience lies since I am getting my treatments at USC.  let's just say I wore my red Ute gear to my doctor's appointment on Friday.  Kids came home and we're so excited with their trip to fish lake.  They couldn't stop talking about the fish and things they had done down their.  Thank you for all the support, we love you all and appreciate the things you do for us.  We don't deserve it.
