June 13, 2013 The fight continues....

We met with Dr. Scrieves today (the radiation doc) to discuss what is going on with Ron's other hip.  He had radiation on the left hip, and that did it's job, however he has had new growth on the right hip now.  We were not sure if they wanted to do more radiation on that site or what exactly they were going to do.

So what are they going to do?  Right now nothing as far as more radiation.  Because he is starting the new chemo treatment the doctor wants to wait and see if it works on the hip and the kidney, rather than doing more radiation.  Which is great if it works.  We are very hopeful that the new drug will be able to stabilize or better yet shrink the cancer growth that the IL2 was not able to get.

We are still waiting for all the paper work/insurance etc. to be completed and then Ron will be able to begin the new treatment of chemo, we are not concerned about the approval of it all, it just takes time to get through all the red tape.

Ron is feeling well and doing well.  We are so blessed to know that our prayers are always answered,    the challenge is understanding the direction that the Lord wants us to take, what we need to learn and how we can grow from that experience.   We know he always will do what is best for us!  We are so blessed to have such amazing family, friends, and company! We Love you all and thank you for all the Love and prayers!!!  Don't stop praying and we wont stop the fight!!!
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
