More decisions.....

A few weeks ago John went to see a spine and neck specialists because his neck has been hurting for such a long time. I figure they could do some physical therapy or SOMETHING for him.
So the Spine doctor order a PET scan which is a scan they can see the whole body from the eyes to the toes. The last PET Scan John received was in Feb. 2010. I think the doctor wanted to rule out cancer in his neck before he treated John, just to be on the safe side.
So John called for the results on Tuesday and he told John he had seen some growth from his last PET Scan. The next day we met with his Oncologist and looked over the images with him to find a tumor in his left pelvic bone near his spine. Also we learned that his largest tumor in his lungs has doubled in size.
Upon hearing the news, I was very disappointed. All the hard work we have been putting in with the natural efforts and juggling everything else felt like it was pointless, maybe damaging. But we will NEVER know why this has happened.
John is going to stay on a healthy diet, no sugar, no meat, no dressings, no dairy, basically.
I am pretty sure he has decided to go the Chemo/Radiation route. He has an appointment Monday with a doctor in Layton to do radiation on his pelvic tumor. It's a radiation called Tomotherapy, I added a new link on the right side about that. He is going to be getting a biopsy from his lungs sent down to be tested in California where they will test 30 different types of Chemo to his tumors to see which one works best.
He will be getting radiation on the tumor in his lungs down his mouth, once every 3 months maybe.
He will be going back on the Avastin and get the chemo at the same time. Unless the testing in California determines a different drug for him.
So all this will start here in the next week or two. I am not looking forward to John being more sick than he already is. It's finally summer, and he is probably going to miss it. I am trying to get mentally prepared for what is to come.
The decisions are the hardest thing lately that we have been going through!
Thank you everyone for your support and prayers, keep them coming. :)

We love you all!!!(Shay's Kindergarten Graduation yesterday)
