Latest Diagnosis Results

Hey Everyone,

First off let me thank you so much for those of you at the playgroup Halloween party today for your very generous donations for Lara and her family. With the money I was able to get an American Express card, a Chipotle card, Starbucks card and also three really nice large stainless steel Starbucks traveling mugs.

I spoke to Lara late this afternoon and they finally got the results in. They met with the oncologist for two hours and have come up with a plan to kind of cover the next 12 months. Hans was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Cancer. She explained three steps in their plan. First, Hans will begin chemotherapy starting tonight. This will go on for 15 weeks but mid-way probably around Christmas time doctors believe the tumor will have shrunk enough for him to have an operation to remove it. Once that operation 7-8 more weeks of chemo will probably be needed. The next step is that Hans will have a bone marrow transfusion. They will be using his own bone marrow to do that. After all of this then the last 6 months will be in maintenance type mode.

She is really positive and feels Hans is in good hands and is happy that the doctors are putting Hans up on the fast track which you can clearly see by them starting treatment tonight. They are really upbeat and relieved that theyhave that load off their backs of not knowing the diagnosis. Now they are ready to fight and keep moving on ahead.

It's going to be a very very long and rough road ahead for Hans so continue to keep him in your prayers please. Lara requested that I tell everybody to pray the rosary. She did say that they might be even able to come home in a week! They will be keeping an very close eye on him to see how he's handling the chemotherapy over the next 5 days. We will definitely have to have a welcome home celebration for when Hans does come home.
