Thanks Patti.. It means a lot that we are there for each other! Dh has a wonderful cousin who lives in Wheaton and of course the girls have friends. They did a bar crawl.. I think it was t box? This weekend. One was a bit too "happy" lol

Maybe you could call the insurance about delaying the transfusion? Do you have a case manager? I know you are tired but try to make a few calls and see if they could help you. It is a shame he has to have such a bad weekend because they did not give him the transfusion

We are doing well... I am getting really nervous about the bmt but I really have faith it will be ok. We are both lucky...we have many praying for us.

Take care..and of course you and Ken and your family are in my prayers.

Sounds like your girls are enjoying themselves!! I can imagine how nervous you must be to get the BMT done. Keeping you and DH in my prayers.
We don't have a case manager but we met with his oncologist today.
The oncologist said next Thursday will be Ken's last chemo. He also reduced the dosage of todays chemo to hopefully prevent the blood counts from going so low. He wants us to wait 3-4 weeks and schedule a CT scan and an appointment with him the day following the CT scan so we don't have to wait and worry about the results. If the cancer has remained stable or better he said we will discuss the pros and cons of maintenance chemo or taking a break and recheck in a few months. He said either way he is done with the chemo, that he has gotten all he will get out of it. I think he means the 2 drugs he was on not all chemo. So hopefully, he will be able to get the last treatment and take a long break. Your prayers and support have gotten us this far and if we could just ask for continued prayers for a good Ct scan next month. Thank you all so much. You will never know how much it has meant to us during this scary uncertain time.

Patti,

You know you can count on continued prayers being offered up for Ken AND you. I think the rest of the YT family might agree.
Please take care and keep us posted.

of course you and ken are in my prayers.. I am so glad it seams to be looking better for ken. Wow.

The case manager would be through your insurance.. I really don't know if it helps that much. The first insurance we had when Alan was first diagnosed .. that case manager was horrible. My employment changed insurance and the case manager we have now is better. I think they can give information on why some items are approved and such. But I will say.. the oncologist we have is amazing and I have total faith in her!!! It sounds like you have a great one also.

Please keep us posted .. and remember we are all here for you

Patti, I am not on here often but do try to check in for updates on Ken. Please know you are always in my thoughts and prayers. It has been a very hard and scary battle for both of you, and don't ever give up hope that the miracle cure is possible for him

Hugs to you both.

Patti, Ken and you remain in my daily prayers. I pray Ken will grow stronger and feel better and that the next CT will bring good news.

Sending prayers for a Happy Holiday!

Thanks. Ken had his last chemo treatment Thursday!! His blood count was a little low but they decided he would be ok for treatment. Ken has a CT scan on January 11th. We get the results the next day when we meet with his oncologist. We are praying that the cancer
has remained stable and Ken can have a break in treatment for awhile. Your prayers and thoughts have helped us so much. I will update when we get the CT results. YT prayers are the best.

Keeping the prayers going! Merry Christmas!
