Time marches on and soon we realize it has been several
months since we’ve posted anything. Life is good. Kevin remains stable
and it’s the holidays!<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>Thanksgiving was spent with family and we had a great meal
with great company. Christmas is right around the corner and then we can begin
thinking about spring! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kevin had an MRI in December and
we got great news! No progression! Thank you all for your continued prayers and
support! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Something comes to mind that I wanted to write about. Does
brain cancer cause personality changes? Is Kevin the same person he used
to be? The answer is not as obvious as it may seem. The explanation is more
complex than it initially appears. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any cancer diagnosis could bring about a change in
personality for the person diagnosed. Some people consider it a “gift”, a
wakeup call to the fact life is short and can change in an instant. Some feel it
is a “gift” to discover who ones true friends are and to find kindness in the
world. I am happy for those who feel this way. I truly hope they complete
their bucket list and go on to live very happy lives. I’m not sure if
brain cancer is different or if it’s just me, but I don’t see any of this as a
gift. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In order to discuss whether or not brain cancer changes ones
personality, it is important to define “personality”. One must first
understand, the essence of “personality” is a summation of one’s life
experiences to date, with possibly a bit of nature over nurture thrown in for
good measure. Brain cancer often brings with it, a number of personality
changes, largely due to physical changes in the brain. Try to put
yourself in the shoes of someone with brain cancer. Consider for a moment, part
of your brain is missing, what remains has been radiated and poisoned. You are
now on any number of medications, and will remain on medication the rest of
your life. Some of these medications cloud your mind and create a sense of
detachment to the world around you. You constantly live with the fear of
recurrence and the knowledge that you have a disease which to date, is
considered incurable. You’ve been told by a number of doctors that this disease
will almost assuredly recur and will likely take your life. You know that if
and when it recurs, you may lose your ability to speak or walk or live life as
you’ve known it. You may truly, truly lose your personality. You are in your
early 30’s and are unable to work due to the constant fatigue and lapses in
short term memory. You are likely physically unable to have children. You live
in a reality where literally no one can truly understand your journey. NO ONE.
Because no two brain tumors are alike. You, as much as anyone, want to be
“normal” again. But like your personality, your “normal” has changed forever.
Therefore, having undergone both a physical and psychological trauma, it is
hardly surprising to find the cancer fighter is no longer a carefree bundle of
joy, as they may have once been. To overcome the above takes a mental
strength most of us don’t possess. It takes the ability to realize that one’s
outlook is about perception and one’s perception is one’s reality. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kevin is the same person he’s always been. He has
always been an old soul. He is smart and kind and funny. Perhaps he needs
things repeated more often. Memory loss is like that. If you have memory
loss, you may not remember not remembering. It helps to make a list, but one
could easily forget to make the list. Or misplace the list.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
To be honest, we all change over time, with or without brain
cancer. The personality is in a constant state of flux. Everyone going through
major upheaval will change and perhaps those with brain cancer change faster or
a little more. Kevin wakes up every day, puts a smile on his face and goes
about his day. He may be productive in a way which is different than he used to
be. He may not always be as happy or social as he once was. He may not be the
Kevin other people think he should be. My advice to Kevin? People who
love you will adapt. People who love you will not judge and will accept there
are things about your disease they know nothing about. My advice to others who
may want to voice an opinion regarding anyone else’s personality? Just don’t!
Check your health privilege and be grateful you have one more day and one more
week and one more year to spend with your friend who has brain cancer. Educate
yourself. Understand that because someone doesn’t look sick, doesn’t mean they
are not sick. Have a little bit of empathy, because there but for the
grace of God……<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">May is brain
cancer awareness month. I allowed May, 2015 to come and go without posting
anything brain cancer related on social media, without wearing gray
clothing, essentially, without overtly
raising awareness. I did, however, place
on my wrist, the two brain cancer wristbands which have been hiding in my
drawer. I decided it’s time for me to raise my own awareness inside myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">More than
once in the past two years, I have accused family members and friends of being
in denial of the disease which has afflicted my son and which has collaterally affected
my entire family. I have rationalized that a certain amount of denial is
necessary to prepare oneself for the fight which brain cancer requires. I have
justified actions of myself and others by believing that acceptance of this
disease and its potential progression is far too difficult to take in all at
one time. I have told myself over and
over that these feelings will pass and emotionally we will heal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For the
first few months after Kevin was diagnosed, I found myself on auto-pilot. Going
where doctors instructed us to go, making certain Kevin got his medication, got
to his treatment on time, watching for signs of seizure activity, preparing
meals in a timely manner to coincide with his chemo, managing his appointments,
taking notes and asking questions of the doctors so Kevin could concentrate on
the one and only task he needs to concentrate on-feeling better, staying
strong, being as healthy as possible and living life to its fullest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There is a
fine distinction between living in denial and simply not allowing a cancer
diagnosis to define you. I have always considered myself a realist. I have
learned there is a fine distinction between realistically understanding
something on an intellectual level and actually accepting it as something one
must truly acknowledge as a certainty. Two years ago, my biggest concerns were the
awful Denver traffic, what to make for dinner, making the wrong decision about
the highlights in my hair. Is it
possible to age twenty years in the span of only two? Stress is a peculiar
phenomenon. It creeps up on us and surprises us with its veracity. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It attacks
when we least expect and in ways we didn’t know were possible. Some lessons are
learned the hard way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">May,
2015-Brain Cancer Awareness Month. I took this time to reflect on what it means
to have a family member with this diagnosis. What it means to everyone
involved, because the big C worms its way into the lives of everyone who loves
the patient who’s been diagnosed, and everyone who loves those people as well. I look down at my arm, wearing the grey and
black wristbands, and allow the awareness to sink in. I look at the calendar because I am now aware
the first Sunday in June is National Cancer Survivor Day. It’s a day of
celebration for survivors and inspiration to numerous others. I think of the
many people I have connected with in this small but relevant brain cancer
community-people of all ages, people from all over the U.S. and other
countries. I forgive myself for allowing the denial to settle in me, all the
while consciously believing I had reached an acceptance. I had not and I have
not. But I understand that now. On June 7, the first Sunday in June, I chose to
celebrate life. I made a promise to myself. I will take my own physical and
mental health seriously. I will make it a priority. I will seek the spiritual
knowledge which will allow me to live in today. I will continue to hope and
pray for a cure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Easter weekend Kim, Kevin and I spent a few days in San Francisco. They had never been there and I was ready to go back and check more out. We had such a great time, it was definitely too short of a visit. We got there late Friday morning, hopped on the double decker tour bus then ended the evening at a great lil sushi place. Saturday we spent the after on Alcatraz Island...it was AWESOME! Kevin really was loving seeing all the history, it was really interesting to take the tour. I highly recommend it if you can get there. We ended that evening at Fog Harbor for a very expensive and tastey meal, then walked to Ghiradelli for some chocolate! Sunday we spent the day on the double decker tour bus, checking out the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito and all that San Francisco has to offer visually! <br />

Trip #2 4/24-26<br />
What an amazing weekend we had in Houston at the Together In Hope
conference, put on by MD Anderson Cancer Center. I personally was not
sure what to expect or how any of us would feel by the end of the weekend. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Rather than go into detail about all the different things we learned, I will
get to the important, significant part...we each formed relationships with
other brain cancer patients, care givers, spouses, parents, etc, and that is
priceless. Up to this point Kevin didn't have anyone he could call that
fully understands physically and emotionally what he is going through.
Kim didn't have anyone to call who really understands her thoughts, feelings,
fears, etc and I didn't have anyone who really understands my perspective,
thoughts, feelings and emotions. Now I can say we each have people in our
support circle who we can count on to help make our lives easier. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Kevin got an
MRI on April 26 and the results were great! No new growth! No sign of new
disease!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Most of us
can only imagine the amount of anxiety surrounding an MRI that will tell you
one of two things, you are either stable or you have new disease growth. It’s a
little difficult to wrap your head around the fact that the best he will hear
is there is no new growth. Wouldn’t it be great if instead, he heard “every bit
of cancer and tumor is gone!” Kevin tries his best to not allow the stress to
get the best of him before the MRI date and luckily he is able to get his
results immediately. The doctor plans to reduce the frequency of the MRI’s to
once every 3 months, as long as they remain stable through the end of
September. So there is a new goal to
look forward to! In the meantime, Kevin is busy enjoying each and every day! He
feels good and is gearing up for summer bike riding season. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d;">Great news !! Kevin had his
routine MRI on Thursday, February 26. Happily, the result was that everything
looks stable, with possibly some shrinkage of remaining tumor. The
neuro-oncologist was very pleased and Kevin is relieved to put one more scan
behind him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d;">I think it would be easy to fall
into a cycle of depression after such a life altering experience as Kevin has
been through in the past two years. As the two year cancerversary approaches, I
reflect on the many changes he has endured, from the initial shock of diagnosis
and brain surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, to quitting work and moving
back to his home state. He has missed old friends and made new friends and
become accustomed to a new “normal”. Any one of these things alone, might have
knocked him to his knees. While it would embarrass him to know this, I think
Kevin has demonstrated a strength most of us would be unable or unwilling to
continue doing, faced with these circumstances. He stays busy. He helps others.
He shovels snow and fixes broken things and works on vehicles. He makes it
easier for all of us to accept the bumps in the road which happen in each of
our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d;">We have a couple of weekend
trips planned and will be going to Houston in April to attend a conference for
brain tumor patients and their families. It looks like it will be very
informative, as well as giving Kevin a chance to connect with other brain cancer
patients. There are some long term survivors and we all want Kevin to join
their club!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d;">As always, we appreciate your
interest in Kevin’s story and your continued donations. Kevin will be getting
COBRA insurance beginning soon and it will be considerably more expensive than
what he has been paying. It will, however allow him to continue with the care
he has been receiving and allow him to travel out of state for medical care if
necessary. Both of which are critical at this point. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d;">Sorry I haven’t written in a while, but in
this case no news is good news. We are moving steadily through each day. Kevin
is feeling well but the weather (wind and occasional snow) has prevented us from getting out and doing
some of our favorite activities. We spend time with friends, his brother and girlfriend and family as much as we can. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Batang",serif;">Kevin had his routine MRI on
Friday and we are thrilled to share that everything looks stable. There is no
new progression of disease and the doctor even indicated there was some
shrinkage of the original residual tumor. This was in comparison to the
October, 2013 MRI. This is amazing news and we are so happy that the MRI
confirmed what we already know-Kevin is a warrior! We are so grateful for his
youth, his strength and his health, prior to the diagnosis, all of which play a
part in Kevin’s ability to fight. Of course we are grateful for modern medicine
and his great neuro-oncologist, who was willing to speak honestly and openly
and throw everything but the kitchen sink at Kevin to help make this happen. It
was a long and difficult year of chemo but this MRI makes it worthwhile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Batang",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Batang",serif;">Kevin’s blood counts continue
to improve and he doesn’t see the neuro-oncologist again until February, when
his next MRI is due.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Batang",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Batang",serif;">We are soooo thankful for all
your continued thoughts and prayers! We continue to move forward with some of
the alternative treatment options. The naturopath recommended a few supplements
and Kevin has on them. He continues to exercise and does his best to eat
healthy meals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

have been great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">Went to the
holistic doctor last week to find out some test results and it was really
interesting. Not necessarily cancer related BUT some preventative stuff
to work on towards the future. There is a lot of information that I am not sure
how to portray here so we will leave it with, it was money well spent for that
appointment, thank you for your donations! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">With the
holiday season in full swing, I want to take a minute to share what I am
thankful for. I heard last weekend that an old dear friend of mine lost
her baby sister in a car accident. She was at no fault, hit by a drunk
driver...so devastating. The thoughts and feelings the family must be
feeling is so overwhelming, I can't imagine. I am thankful she has
a relationship with God and she can keep her family centered and strong.
I am thankful to have love in my life and to have 2 special people to share
Thanksgiving with. I am thankful for resources to keep hope in Kevins
heart and that there are tools out there to help him. I am thankful for
family and friends and NEVER taking any of them for granted. Most of all,
I am thankful for Jesus...without his love and acceptance I don't know where I
would be today. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">We had such a
beautiful dinner, cooked all day for a 20 minute meal...I've never understood
that. But Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday so that is the
tradition. Kevin carved his first turkey...what!!! I couldn't
believe it was his first time. Noell even got to enjoy the food! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">What an
awesome getaway! Kevin and I went over to Dads house to spend a few days
with him, his wife Kim and my sweet sweet Grama. The weather was
beautiful and the food was overwhelming! :) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">We got there
really late Friday night so got to visit for a little bit. Saturday we took a
drive around the area and it was so beautiful! I thought Colorado was
gorgeous!? </span></div>

Smamut...now if you aren't familiar with Norwegians or my family in general you
won't have a clue what that is. Basically a side pork soup with
dumplings....I was in heaven. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">Sunday...well
we won't talk about the first part of the day (football game, what football
game??). My Dad is really famous for deep frying turkeys so when we got
to town and heard there was no turkey frying planned...I asked him with a bat
of the eyes if he would reconsider. He was stoked! I guess everyone
there is tired of fried turkey so he had to pack his frying stuff away...until
we got there. That will be our next purchase so we can start a tradition
here also. </span></div>

out a helicopter that my sister and I gave him a couple years ago...holy! They
were like little boys and it was sooo much fun to watch!!! </span></div>

drawing to an end so we decided to take a bunch of
family photos to remember the visit. Speaking of remembering, those
of you that know my Grama and her state, will be happy to know she did really
good while we were there! She was able to remember Kevin's name (although she
thought he was my husband) and she knew we were there the whole time! He also taught her how to play a puzzle game on his iPad.<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">We spent the
day Saturday at an amazing event called THRIVE, put on by Swedish Medical
Center. We met many cancer survivors and caregivers. Five cancer survivors
shared their amazing stories of surviving AND thriving! Oncologists from
Swedish Medical Center spoke about new advances in cancer detection and
therapies. We participated in yoga and guided meditation demonstrations,
and learned about nutrition and super foods. It was an emotional day to say the
least but Kim and I were so happy that Kevin wanted to go to this event.
To be in a room full of cancer survivors and their families was an amazing
step. It is empowering to see others, many of whom are the same age as
Kevin, thriving, despite their diagnosis. Many of us have been touched by
cancer in one way or another. On Saturday we learned that not only do cancer
survivors survive but they THRIVE!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Kevin's neuro-oncologist was one of the speakers. It was
good to hear his perspective and his speech gave us insight to what he thinks
and feels as a physician. Here is a poem he wrote. For those of us never
having been diagnosed, it rang loud throughout the crowd. <br />
Picture the patient's stress on MRI day. Immediately following the MRI they sit
in the doctor's office, on a bench, behind the doctor, looking at the computer
images of the MRI.<br />
I hope you are able to read this. The picture was taken on my phone. I made it
extra large so it would come through clearer.</span></div>

amazing young woman who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at age 24.
Here is something she shared with us and I wanted to share it here also.
Whether you know someone with cancer, have cancer or stumble upon it in your
lifetime...please keep this list in mind. We are always open to gifts as
well! :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">Sunday was a
fun day with friends and neighbors helping Kevin work on his truck and watching
the Broncos...I kinda feel sorry for Raider fans, NOT! :)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">Monday was
quite the day! We were on our way to Boulder to see his holistic
doctor...cruising west on Highway 7, about a mile west of I25 (the wind was
seriously out of control). Kevin mentioned how strange the clouds looked
and as I was watching the sky, all of a sudden a mini tornado appeared in the
field to our right. (maybe I am a bit dramatic but it was for real)
Debris, garbage and dust were swirling around...I immediately put my head into
my hands as if taking cover when off the side of the road a huge road
construction sign came blowing towards us and hit the truck! RIGHT BESIDE
ME!! It hit the right front fender, took the right side mirror off and
scratched the whole passenger side of the truck. Crazy?? Yes, but
we are so grateful we were not in my car...things could have been so much
worse. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;">I believe
this is God's way of saying it's not Kevin's time yet. Amen to that! God is

blessed with all the donations to the gofundme account and want to thank
everyone! We are nowhere near our goal...holistic care is very expensive
and it's a shame it isn't covered by insurance. We took a large chunk out
this week for some testing so we find ourselves in the humble position of
reaching out for additional help. We hope you can find it in your hearts to
assist us in reaching our goals. With the holidays right around the corner, we
are thankful for anything you are able to give. </span></div>

<br />
Kevin is starting to get his energy back now that he has been off chemo for a couple months. Starting a new approach to healing, isn't exciting, as you can imagine...getting off chemo after a year and a half...only to have to go into more "treatment". We are hearing such interesting and inspiring things about the holistic care world though! Please if you have any positive stories for us in that regard, email me at cherisellshomes@gmail.com.<br />
<br />
We ask that you share this blog wherever you can to spread the word for positive healing stories. <br />
<br />
<br />
This week we got to spend some good quality time with his guy friends, at the shop and in their homes. It's always great to see him with his old friends! I even got to do some 4th grade homework!<br />
<br />
We had a blast carving pumpkins! I hadn't done that in a grip of time.<br />

Last week was a very stressful week<span style="color: #1f497d;">.

to an MRI can be intense. The unknown worry that lies beneath can really

We kept as busy as we could. Monday he spent the
afternoon/evening with one of his friends working on my car. The brakes
needed attention so that was a perfect project for him. Tuesday he was

Thursday was the much anticipated day<span style="color: #1f497d;">. </span>The MRI showed NO NEW enhancements...which is awesome!
Meaning the tumor has not grown, yahoooo! Of course even better news
would be that it has shrunk, but let's stay with the good news we have been
given. Now onto research of things to do to hopefully shrink that
sucker! </div>

even think to take any photos of the get together. We did a toast to Kevin,

<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am going to tell the story as I know it. I met Kevin in April 2014 and almost from the day we met, we have been inseparable. He is my heart and I can't imagine my life without him. He is the man that I had only hoped to find someday to have in my life. I am forever grateful that God put us in each others lives. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 1st day I met him and his Mother, was the day I found out he had stage 3 brain cancer, Anaplastic Astrocytoma. I had no idea how serious it was until I got to know them more. Here he is, a handsome 32 year old man (was 31 when I met him), with a lot of ambition! He is the absolute smartest man when it comes to cars, I don't even know where he stores this knowledge!? He is so passionate about so many topics, he will talk for hours about things one may never have known about. He absolutely loves bike riding, bowling, pool, really any game...also pretty competitive, I have to let him win every time (JUST KIDDING!). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I will tell you how it began for him, in my words as explained to me....</div>
<div>
It began in November, 2012. He was living in Dallas and had gone on a bike ride with one of his buddies. He began to smell an odd chemical odor and asked his friend if he smelled it also. His friend said no but neither took it seriously.The next thing he remembers is his friend looking at him saying, "Kevin are you ok, I lost you there for a minute". Kevin felt a little dizzy but thought he was feeling funny because he hadn't eaten enough before the ride. Let me add in here that before his cancer diagnosis, he was in very good shape, was always at the gym lifting weights...so overall had a very built frame and was pretty healthy. So this day out riding was no different than any other day...except that it was the first day of what is now, his reality. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He continued his ride and thought nothing more of the odd incident. Over the course of the next week, that same smell and dizzy feeling continued to come back and got to the point where he figured he should get it checked out. The Doctor he visited did several tests but found him to be generally healthy. He was diagnosed with anxiety and prescribed anti depressants and anti anxiety medication, only to find out from his aunt, a neurologist, that those pills could potentially kill him, by masking the real issue. At a follow up visit to the doctor, Kevin insisted he get an MRI. The doctor was reluctant, but ordered the test.The medication he had been prescribed, was seeming to alleviate the "anxiety attacks" however the MRI revealed these were not anxiety attacks at all. Kevin was experiencing seizures, due to a large mass in the left temporal lobe in his brain. The chemical odor accompanying the dizzy spells was an aura, associated with the onset of the seizures. Thank God for his Aunt! Without her medical knowledge he would not have insisted on the MRI.<br />
<br />
On April 1st 2013 Kevin had a craniotomy.The 8 hour surgery was considered successful because he came out with no physical deficits. He was able to talk, walk and for all intents and purposes,seemed like the pre-surgery Kevin. His left temporal lobe was removed, along with approximately 80% of the baseball sized tumor. The initial pathology was completed before Kevin was out of recovery.The diagnosis was not good. Grade 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma. One of the worst types of primary brain cancers, second to Glioblastoma, which is grade 4 of the same type of cancer cell that makes up astrocytoma. While there are some long term survivors, the nature of the disease is that it will return typically within 2 years of diagnosis. This is a very aggressive cancer and 20% of the known tumor remained vulnerable and needing attention. He immediately began a 61/2 week regimen of radiation therapy combined with oral chemotherapy.When this treatment ended, he made the decision to move back to Colorado, where he was raised and where much of his family resides.They were referred to a neuro-oncologist in the Denver area for follow up treatment (consisting of further chemotherapy, both oral and IV) and immediately packed up his life in Dallas and headed to Denver where he now lives with his mother, God Bless her for everything she has been able to do for him. He constantly tells me how grateful he is for her. This picture is from 9/2014 at a celebration we had for him. After almost a year and a half, he has completed all planned treatment. For now!!<br />

Writing this story is therapeutic and emotional all at the same time. My hopes in writing this blog is to raise awareness of our fundraising efforts to continue with holistic treatment that is now at our fingertips. Even with medical insurance, costs have already been astronomical, western medicine has run it's course for now and he would like to explore options with holistic care. <br />
