Begin Again

David has endured a week and a half of testing. Now we are ready to start his treatments.

The good news is that there is no sign of the cancer spreading outside of the eye cavity. There may be indicators that there is some cancer still in the orbit, but we are going to be discussing the MRI results with the doctor tomorrow.


Our plan right now - as far as we know - is to take David to the hospital tomorrow. We will sit down with his oncologists and talk about all the tests, chemo regimen, hospital stays, etc., etc., etc. Once we understand what the oncologist is recommending, we will go right over to the day hospital and start David's treatments. As we understand at this point, David will have chemo for 2 days, but will not have to be hospitalized overnight. We are going to try to avoid the cost and headache of a hospital stay. If we see that David is not tolerating the treatments, we may have to rethink things and schedule the treatments to be in-hospital treatments, but we are hoping that we won't have to do that.

And so the fun begins.

On a different note, we have had our appraisals and inspections on our new house, and everything seems to be a go! We are super excited about moving into a house with more space, but we have appreciated Rob's grandparents' generosity letting us stay here. If you click on David's picture, you should be redirected to our picture site to see pictures of the new house. We feel really blessed to get this house in a great neighborhood and for a really great price!

I'll update you later, but right now, I need to go and finish packing for a whole day at the hospital.
