 Topic: Thoughts and prayers needed
Posted: 17 Aug 2024 at 6:55am |
My 19-year-old grandson started 9 weeks of chemo this week.
He was diagnosed with testicular cancer a few weeks ago. He had to have one testicle surgically removed. After removal his makers were still going up and they discovered that it had metastasized to a lymph node, necessitating the chemo.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!

For those of you that attended the Madrid NY GOTO, Lukas was the volunteer EMT that was around the grounds on his golf cart. Since his early teens, he has been driving my AC tractors in local parades. An update on his treatment. One week of chemo done. He has a little nausea and seems to tire easily, but otherwise doing well. His chemo regime is: weeks 1, 4 and 7 - five daily treatments, Monday through Friday. weeks 2. 3. 5, 6, 8 and 9 - one treatment per week. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It is appreciated more than you will ever know!!!

Just a follow up note.
We received some good news this week after the end of week 5 (of 9 weeks) of chemo. His "tumor markers have dropped from 118.5 on August 19 to 17.4 on September 9 (normal is 0, but less than 8 is acceptable).
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers! We are (cautiously) optimistic!!!

A long overdue update. Lukas rang the bell (signifying the end of treatment) a while back. During the treatment, his "tumor marker level" dropped from 118 (normal is >8.0) to 2.2!
He will have a scan soon, but his doctors are optimistic that he will be cancer free.
Thanks to all for their thoughts and prayers!!! It is appreciated more than I could ever express.
The picture is with family (I am on the left) after his bell ringing. His volunteer fire department, where he is a volunteer EMT and Rescue Captain, brought an ambulance and fire truck to his bell ringing. It was a very emotional day!!!
