I'll admit it. I'm a blog addict, reading others blogs has been a stress relieving outlet for me. So after much debate and prayer I'm starting to blog our journey again.
Update on Kevin, in November of 2013, the Monday before thanksgiving we took Kevin to the ER for a massive headache he kept having. The next week we were told it was primary brain cancer and that he had to have surgery to remove the front tumor. He had the top surgeon in Dallas remove the front tumor with success. We then started oral chemotherapy along with radiation daily at Baylor Dallas. We were so happy once that part of our journey was complete and had a month off. A month with no daily drives to Dallas, no blood work or doctors visits. Life was a little more normal and Kevin went back to work after three months of not working.
Today Kevin had his follow up MRI to see how that first round of treatment went. The oncologist was very pleased with the success of both the chemo and radiation. The back tumor reduced in size and there was no sign if regrowth in the front. He will start his maintenance chemo next week, which is 5 pills per month at a higher dose. Chemo at home is such a blessing. He takes it 30 mins before bed and it shouldn't make him sick. We've seen so many blessings through this journey. We're looking at brain cancer as a blip or bump in the road. We've got lots of happy times ahead and Kevin's fighting like Hale!
Speaking of fighting like Hale, if you'd like a fight like hale bracelet let me know. You can email me at Kati.hale@yahoo.com and I'd be happy to send you one.
