Anthony's Page

Thank you for visiting Anthony's Page. We hope you learn, laugh and appreciate the gift that is named Anthony. He was diagnosed with DSRCT in February, 2001 at the age of 30. He was on Vincristine, Cyclophosphomide, Doxorubicin, Etoposide, Efosfomide, and Mesna. He went through the chemo without any major problems. We were anticipating no problems during the stem cell harvest, but our luck ran out. Anthony had a pulmonary embolism during the harvest. We both handled the crisis quite well. Not sure what had happened, we did not find out until he had a CT scan later that night about the gravity of what happened. Now Coumadin was added to the list of meds he was on. He then had to have one of his testicles removed for fear of further spreading of the cancer. He went through 25 sessions of radiation on his pelvic region and a stem cell transplant. Many CT scans as well as PET scans and he had been clean for over 11 years.
As of January 28/13, some tumors have appeared & a tissue sample is required to identify the type of cancer. On March 8/13, it was confirmed as a recurrence of DSRCT.
Our prayers go out to all who have fought & been touched by people with this type of cancer.
