Kenny Update--October 16th

This is not the update that we wanted to give. Jo had taken Kenny to the Oncologist office this morning for him to receive a transfusion since his blood counts were rebounding so slowly. The MRI results are in and the tumor is mostly unchanged except for one section. Riley Children’s Hospital, IU Bloomington Proton Center and OSU have met on the results and we have a couple of options before us. The short answer is that Kenny will be scheduled for an additional biopsy at OSU so that the doctors can determine the composition of the growth area. Right now it is too early to determine the future direction of Kenny’s cancer treatment but there is additional chemo’s available. We will be back to a hurry up and wait mode over the next few weeks with surgery and test results.

Praises
Most of the tumor remained the same size

We have additional chemo options available for future treatment

Prayer concerns
The biopsy will lead to definite answers
An effective chemo treatment will be determined

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers!
