Update on John

John went to see his Oncologist today to finalize what treatment he will undergo to continue to FIGHT his Prostate Cancer. He is not feeling any pain or discomfort. His PSA spiked, and we realized that the oral Chemo he had been doing for a year had run its course, and we needed to find another weapon to slow the cancer and hopefully shrink it!

He will begin his first Chemotherapy treatment on April 2nd. Ten sessions will be administered every three weeks. Each time, blood work will be done, so after the third session, we hope to see the PSA level start to decrease again. As far as chemotherapy is concerned, this drug should have the lowest side effects. 

We, of course, want to keep John healthy and and enable him to kick Cancer's but, so if you do not feel 100%, please do NOT visit with him. 

John loves visits and outings, so please continue to do those. If you bring food by the house, please put the date on the container. If you take him out, please help him transfer safely to the car and lock his walker.
