Christian's PPB Cancer Journey

Wednesday we spoke with his surgeon. surgery is not completely off the table but it’s just too risky. With only having one lung if they start taking pieces out not only are there serious risks but he would possibly require oxygen which they then ask what his quality of life would be. Everyone is in agreement that surgery is not the route to go at this time. Today we met with his oncologist and the plan going forward for now is to stop the medication hes on right before radiation because it could not be working since the tumor grew quite a bit. After radiation is done, he will start a new chemo regimet. It will be one pill taken twice a day by mouth and one chemo med hung on an IV pump. We are still waiting for them to schedule an MRI on his leg. Depending on how that looks, they may do radiation on that area and treat it with therapy. We are also waiting to see the oncologist from the other hospital because there might be more testing they can do with bloodwork and they may have a different treatment that might be promising. His oncologist is on the registry for PPB cancer. Once any cancer comes back it becomes harder to get ride of it. His oncologist doesn’t know what to do to cure it at this point. We just keep praying that he will be cured this time. I pray to god we are right. Scared is an understatement. Something has to work. https://gofund.me/e957be7d https://christianscancerjourney.com
