I updated Christians bio on this site if you want to know the complete journey to this point. But, here is the latest update on Christians most recent diagnosis: malignant melanoma. His first brush with this terrible disease occurred when the doctors removed a tumor the size of a large mandarin orange out a very sensitive area in his nevus. One of the largest melanomas that our oncologist had ever encountered. They were unable to get the margin and the cancer returned one month later, This time the tumor grew into areas, that for the grace of God, should be prohibiting him from some normal bodily functions. Its very aggressive. It didnt even respond to the original chemo administered ( interferon), it just kept growing. So they admitted Christian to Childrens and tired another. This had great results that were completely reversed when a second combo drug was added. However, after just the first chemo was administered again, the tumor began responding at a rapid rate- shrinking considerably! We were overjoyed. And after - 26 day stay at the hospital we were released. However, we knew even before receiving the results from Christians most recent MRI( this past Friday), the Cancer had rallied again and the tumor is now LARGER ( in every way) then it was during his stay and is threatening to harm our precious boy again. He is already experiences some discomfort from the drastic changes that occurred in a matter of a week. We go TODAY to discuss what we are going to do next to fight this terrible disease! Please pray hard that our answer is right around the corner and that this brave little boy will win this battle! Thank you!!!!
