Prayers are needed: These is Kurt Mundens niece's husband
We are on the roller coaster ride again. Jeff had a ct scan done on tuesday
and also a heart scan. Doc called Thurs. pm, good news, bad news, good news is
Heart is ok, bad news He has had a relapse while on the current chemo. He has a new
spot and also lymph glands are swollen again. Tho rare, this can happen. they
want to do a biopsy on the spot to determine exactly what it is(different
cancer or ?? Also are scheduling the pet scan for this comming week, that will show
any other "hot" spots he may have, as the ct scan was only from waist down.
Also has an appt with the oncologist at UNM on Tues. to get his take on
everything. Jeff;s dr. is recommending another form of Chemo called I.C.E. in combination
with a stem cell transplant. This new Chemo will be a lot worse on him, It is
given over 2 days (mostly in Hospital setting) and will make him sick and very
fatique d., and He is recommending that they go out of state for this and the
stem cell transplant. Not for sure but think they will probably recommend MD
Anderson in Houston. We should know more soon, as dr.'s say it is urgent that
he get treatment asap. Don;t know how many Chemo treatments will be done or when
or when stem cell but should know something this comming week. Needless to say
everyone has been devasted by this latest bad news, but we all just have to
take it one day at a time, try to think positive, and do alot of praying! Tyler &
Kaila know and are dealing with it as best they can just like Trish and Jeff
and the rest of the families, just wanted you all to know, will keep you posted
as we know either by phone or email, yesterday was a lost day to us, but we
are better today so I could write. Keep them in Your prayers. Love to all
