Tuesday, January 2nd, was another full day of appointments at Mayo…starting the day with a stent replacement procedure.  This will be a standard procedure now every three months. It replaces the drain stent from the kidney to the urosotomy bag.  We learned the current stent was plugged and that was likely causing the infections that he couldn’t get on top of. The dr replaced it with a larger one this time and hopefully this is the solution to the infections causing the high fevers. The other appointments consisted of lab work and chest ct scans to keep an eye on all areas to make sure there’s no signs of cancer. Chuck started immunotherapy treatments on Wednesday, December 20th, and has already had his second one on Thursday, January 4th. He is tolerating them very well with no side effects showing up.  As much as he’s been through, we are still amazed at how well he’s doing!  Our weather has been so mild, so he’s been able to take leisurely drives out to see what the guys are up to on the farm. He even drove a tractor home the other day after the guys finished pumping a hog pit. Good therapy 😁 The next appointments at Mayo are early March, so if all goes as good as it is, we’ll be updating again then. Thanks for being here with us! ❤️
