1. Hello and Happy Friday! I hope that your summer is off to a fabulous start! The weather has been beautiful here the last couple of weeks, which has been a nice kickoff to summer break. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted and I am overdue on sharing some updates with you, so let’s get to it…
2. The last I checked in, Dominic had finished a round of chemo with immunotherapy and we were getting ready to head to NY for scans. He completed those scans in early May; while there was still a small amount that light on the scan, the results of an MRI is leading Dominic’s oncologist to believe what is lighting is dead/treated disease.
The plan from that point was to drop chemo and complete three rounds of ONLY immunotherapy. Dominic has completed two of those (the second one last week) and my goodness, what a massive difference it has made to not receive chemo. His treatment weeks are much smoother, he is way more alert without all the anti-nausea meds, and as soon as he’s finished, it’s basically back to regular life. No worries about tanking counts.
He spent the first two days of summer break swimming and has been going to basketball camp this week. He’ll have another round of treatment at the beginning of July and then we will travel back to NY for a huge workup that will determine if he is indeed finished with treatment. Thank you all so much for continuing to pray for our boy, please keep them coming!
