Treatment Begins

I got a call this morning and all tests look good for chemo to start. They have canceled our appointment tomorrow and we are rescheduled for next Thursday. They will start chemo then. They think that he will only have to do 3 cycles, depending on how the cancer responds. This sounds really good to us.

We can't thank everyone enough for all there thoughts, prays and help that has been given in our family's behalf. We feel so blessed to know how much love has been expressed to our family. Dinners and help with the kids has been so generously offered and that means so much. Everyone is right there to offer their help and we thank you.

The upcoming weeks will be a challenge but Tyler is in good spirits about it and we are anxious to see it pass.

We completed a long list of test today. We now know what a pet scan, echo cardiogram, and pulimary testing is. He also got to show off his chest on the x-ray and give more blood to the vampires. We think we are done with the testing, and Thursday we will be going to Primary's to get the results of all these test. We will be anxious to hear how they turned out. I believe they will be talking about his treatment plan. It was a long day and we are glad it is behind us.

Vistors say Hi

Tyler would love to hear from you if you visit his blog. It will help him know you are thinking of him. If you visit, leave him a message to read.

New Tests

Just an update for you, we will be going into LDS Hosp on Tuesday to have a new scan done called the pet scan, (to see if tyler is a dog, cat or lizard... Ha, Ha, Ha, Just kidding.) This will be about 3 hours and then we will head over to Primary's for chest xrays, echo cardio, and a puliminary test. We will have a full day Tuesday, please keep us in your prayers.

Here is our update for today for those of you who don't know. We spent the day at Primary's and they did more scans. They didn't find any more cancer and that indicates that he is in Stage 1. They think that chemotherapy will be very light and it will take care of things pretty easily. It was really good news at this point. Our next step is to do more test to make sure he is ready to handle chemotherapy. We hope to keep you updated through this blog. You are welcome to past Tyler's sight on to anyone else you know would be concerned.

Hi Family and Friends,

We decided to create this blog because we want everyone to feel as updated as possible with Tyler and we know your love and concern for him and our family.

We hope that this will help everyone feel connected and be able to be updated as much as they want too.

We are so thankful for everyone and appreciate the support through this trial. We love you all.
