Christian's PPB Cancer Journey

Today his EKG was good and his echocardiogram thank god. It was nice to get good news that his heart is good times like this we can take a big breath. We spoke with the adult pulmonologist IR doctor. He is going to do a procedure on Thursday where he will put a breathing tube in and he will put the camera down his throat that way to see if he can see a possible air leak or possible undone stitch from his surgery in 2024.

The air leak can be because of several different reasons. It could be infection, one of the staples could of opened from his lung resection, or there could be a new tumor eroding a hole. Depending what it is they have a different couple ways to fix it. Any procedure that needs to be done in his chest has high risk’s. He will have pediatric surgeon in the room when he does do whatever needs to be done to fix the air leak. Tomorrow he has the simulation for radiation where they will make the mold of his leg so it goes in the same position everyday. Wednesday starts radiation Thursday the procedure then as long as everything goes good no complications no bad side effects he will continue radiation Friday, Monday, Tuesday Wednesday. His leg is really starting to hurt more so they gave him medication. hopefully the radiation works fast.
