About Me

Bakersfield, CA, United States
Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.

Hey we made it home.  Hans and I got back last night to a sparkling clean house (thanks PL!!!) and a home cooked meal, thanks Kev and Elle!  I have pretty much given up on cooking and cleaning!

They did a bone scan.  We saw one area on the leg we could radiate.  Hans went in Friday for a really high one-time  dose!  We are going to play it by ear.  Our Xrt doc said that once leg pain is relieved, Hans may be able to feel pain in other areas and we can go back to the bone scan and go from there.
The bone scan wasn't pretty, but I'm unclear if there has been further progression from the Aug 1st MIBG as the two are hard to compare... We will follow up with the team next week to discuss all our treatment options.  Hans did much much better last night but this morning his hip is bothering him:(
