New Regimen - Good News!

-

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to share that the chemo pills (Cabozantinib) and the immunotherapy drug (Durvalumab) were both approved by my insurance! I am going to start the new regimen on Monday, April 25. I have to be at the Cancer Center at 2:30 pm to get my port accessed, meet with Dr. Paluri, and then begin treatment. 

I am so thankful that my team was on top of this and the approval process didn't take that long. Please continue to pray that this new treatment will be effective enough to shrink these tumors. I am nervous about taking the chemo pill everyday, but Dr. Paluri said it is usually fairly well tolerated. The immunotherapy infusion will be every 4 weeks.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. We are going on a little camping trip with my sister and her family. I am definitely looking forward to relaxing a little before getting back to it on Monday.

With Love, Christian

Christian's cancer story comes to a close

This is the very hardest one to write. I have written so much on this blog over the past year and a half, just trying to share information with everyone, but now this “cancer story” is coming to a close.    Her story will never come to a close for me. This is not how our story ends. I know her family feels the same way. There was no one like her on this planet, and there never will be. She was a one of a kind, and the love of my life. She was the best person I ever met, and I look forward to seeing her again one day, up in heaven.   Now I will sit in this empty house that she decorated so well, but I am not alone. God is with me, she is still with me in my heart, and I still have our little terrorist of a dog running around here somewhere, so maybe it won’t be too bad.   I knew this was coming for a while, and I have said a few times that I felt like I was prepared, but nothing can prepare you for it, when you realize they are gone and won’t be coming back. 12 years is not enough.   W

It has been almost a week since the last update here. She has had a difficult time, and has shown more signs of decline. There has been high fever every night, very low energy, nausea, abdominal pain, a lot of sleep and no appetite. She took all of the antibiotics that she was prescribed but it did not really change anything. The nausea med (Zofran) has definitely helped, and she has not gotten sick anymore since taking it. We are very thankful for that. We are staying on an 8hr interval with it to stay that way. Since the last post she has also began to have some pretty intense pain in her abdomen. We were no longer able to control it with the natural remedies we have been using, that have worked for the previous month or two. We got a script for some pain medicine. She is taking it on the same 8hr interval as the Zofran and it is managing the pain very well. So pain & nausea are under control for now. She has slept most of the day every day, and has migrated to the bed (instead o
