Treatment 19

Yesterday we celebrated Mike's 38th birthday with our families. We had a great time and Mike enjoyed the day. According to Mike's first (and rather sucky) oncologist he wouldn't be here with us to see his 38th birthday. Little did SHE know he's stubborn as can be and would continue to put up a hell of a fight and prove HER wrong. We owe a lot of his will to fight to his great oncologist he has now, Dr. Rubinson at Dana Farber. We are still so grateful that we were able to find a new hospital and a better oncologist. It has made all the difference.

Mike's stomach pain has returned over the past few weeks. It has been getting increasingly worse and worrisome. He has another scan coming up in a week. His doctor said we will wait to see what his scan says before we decide what's next. If the scan shows that the tumors are growing/spreading we will need to look at other treatment options. We discussed a few options that included different types of chemo and some trials. However we did not get too ahead of ourselves until we have the scan results. It's scary, it's terrifying, it's nerve-wracking, and it's very real. I still wake up some days and think it's all a night mare. Sometimes it doesn't feel real. There is no way my new husband was diagnosed with cancer so young... but it's real it's all very real and painful. But we still get up everyday and get through the day the best we can. No one asks for this but that's just how life works. You don't get to pick and choose what happens. Times get tough you, have to stick together and take care of one another. That's just how it is. I will never stopping helping Mike fight. He is my entire world and deserves all the happiness he can get.  

We have some special friends that are fighting this same awful disease in Virginia. Sending prayers, you know who you are! We are thinking of you. <3
