Yesterday was a day of not so good news. My sister and brother in law’s 15 year old nephew found his cancer had returned. In May, Kyle was diagnosed with Hodgkins disease, at that time the cancer was in stage 4, so the doctors decided on a more aggressive 6 round chemo plan. Scans after the 2nd treatment showed wonderful progress and the cancer was almost gone. They continued with the remaining 4 treatments and upon completion he was considered cancer free.
The last treatment took place 6 weeks ago. Yesterday they got the results of the 6 week post chemo scan and they found multiple spots of cancer. Kyle is now faces six months of a more invasive chemo, radiation on some of the larger spots and a bone marrow transplant. The doctors are optimistic that they will be able to harvest his marrow for the transplant, but more test need to be run to fully determine this.
Please keep Kyle and his family in your prayers.
