Sorry for the lack of Updates

So sorry for the lack of updates, as many of you follow Adam's journey and when we do not update I am sure you get worried, but there is no need for worry as all is well!!

Adam completed his radiation with no adverse side effects Tuesday, May 26th, and as it looks right now he will be chemo and radiation free!  He will have more scans, blood work, and test sometime in the end of June, but at least for the summer he will not have to undergo anymore chemo or radiation.  From all the preliminary signs it loos like all the prayers have worked and his cancer is under control and no longer a threat.  The spots are either gone or calcified and the doctors feel that once the radiation has time to do what it needs to do, he should be completed with treatment and just have his follow ups. He even has a growth of "peach fuzz" on his entire head where his hair is already growing back.  We are all wondering just what color it will come back as...

Adam, his mother and I and our entire family are forever grateful for all of you that have prayed and kept up with Adam and given us words of hope and encouragement.  

I promise to continue to give you updates and his progress, but I am sure they will be not as often.  You can also check out his facebook page, or mine and keep in contact with us through FB.

Thanks again, and thanks to God!

Hurry Up & Wait

Radiation was supposed to start on Thursday, April 30th, however after further investigation the doctor's decided they wanted to send off his results for further observation and screening prior to doing radiation.  One of the benefits of doing a clinical trial is that we get state of the art medicines and new ideas, but a lot of hurry up and wait.  They need to make sure all their p's and q's are in place before they advance to the next staging of treatment.

So we are not complaining, as we want to make sure everything is in order and things are done correctly, but sometimes I am sure it get aggravating for Adam.

He has started back to school full time, and hopefully this will take his mind off of things and he can get back to doing the things he likes to do.  We will update once the radiation starts.  Keep praying!
