Definitely appreciate any thoughts, prayers and good wishes. I'll tell ya...After our visit with the doctor on Wednesday I was really fearing the worst. My understanding of cancer is pretty limited, but anytime they add on that disclaimer "and its spread" its bad. Really bad. I was freaking the hell out to think it had spread to his brain.

After our visit at the cancer center in Seattle on Friday however I feel much more confident we can kick cancers ass. The Fred Hutch cancer center is something else, thats for sure.

No version of cancer is fun. Hopefully, his youth and spirit will help him overcome it. Ask lots of questions, question every decision.

We went to University of Washington yesterday to kick off the Chemo roller coaster. Of course, not to keep it low key and easy going right out of the gate ends up he was having atrial fibrillation. Didnt have any symptoms, but I tell ya the nurses were moving with focus getting an IV in place and meds in the system to get that under control. It pushed out the start of chemo, looks like that ride leaves tomorrow.

I am in remission from Stage 4B Cancer myself. Just keep it positive and keep him as comfortable as possible. Kids are resilient and bounce back. I’m sure your son will come out of this stronger and even more resilient when he beats it.

Appreciate that. Things are still pretty early on in the process but going well. Already seeing improvements from the latest blood test (which was a bit ago, actually sitting in Fred Hutch right now). Definitely feeling cautiously optimistic
