So I have not posted for a while. The main reason is I haven't had anything to post. The doctors from USC and from Huntsman have been discussing the actual diagnosis. Huntsman has said all along that it was a mutations of melanoma. The doctor at USC really wanted to push it to Sarcoma. My brother pointed out that maybe because he didn't want a black mark on his study because it didn't really help me. After 4 months of back and forth we are moving forward. This Thursday I am having some injections called TACE. This is a minimally invasive procedure where they will use a catheter to go into and follow the veins to the tumors in my liver. Once at the tumors they will inject them with TACE and cut off the blood supply in hopes that they can no longer grow. I had a PET scan a couple of weeks ago and they now found some spots they are concerned about on my right lung. With those lesions they are going to do something called abrasion where they basically burn them or freeze them off. Something like they would do with warts. I will be staying overnight on Thursday so they can monitor me and make sure that I don't have any adverse reaction and to the treatment.
Some other life news, Easton broke his arm a month ago and already has the cast off and back at it. Madison tore her ACL playing soccer and is having surgery on April 22nd. I wouldn't recommend doing any of this by the way.
We are all still doing really well and fighting the good fight. Even though sometimes life throws you curve balls, you just have to be patient when you swing and you can knock it out of the park. Our homer is coming soon I can feel it.
Soccer and baseball has started so needless to say we are staying busy and it's only going to get busier. We have some fun trips planned this year and are excited for them. Some beach time and some history stuff.
Thanks for all the prayers and support. We definitely feel the love from everyone.
