Journal entry by Kent Campbell —
Health Update – Unfortunately, we received a setback in my cancer treatment. They recently found presence of cancer cells in my left pubic bone as well as a lymph node in that area.
I’ll be switching over to four new medications (Lupron, Letrozole, Ibrance and Xgeva) and will be on those indefinitely. In addition, I’ll get radiation (5 treatments) to the pubic bone to decrease the pain in that area. I have already undergone a bone biopsy so they could get a good sample to utilize in a possible future treatment called Precision Genomics (cool cutting-edge stuff available at IU if we need yet another treatment option).
I’ll get re-scanned in 3 months to see how effective the new treatment has been.
As always, it is a tough road but during my initial battle, I can confidently say the support and love we received was incredible!! That is really such an understatement. We were blown away at the generosity offered to us.
My ask is that you lift us up (especially my incredible wife) as we move into this next phase of beating cancer!!
