Hard to believe that it's been 1 year since I got the call. You play out a lot of scenarios in your head as a dad. One thing I never quite planned on was hearing my wife, in between sobs, tell me our youngest had Stage IV cancer and the doctor wanted me at the clinic ASAP... https://twitter.com/VegasRebs/status/1120771231031025664
The past year has been the greatest challenge he, I, and my family have ever known. It has been financially, emotionally, and spiritually draining. Full of surgeries, months of hospital stays, and countless doctor's visits. BUT I have never felt more united as a family...
I have never felt so loved or so watched over. The miracle in all this, the silver lining to our absolute darkest storm cloud, has been all of you. Your love. Your prayers. Your support. We quite literally could not have handled all of this without you.
So while we still have a long and expensive road in front of us, we know that our family, our friends, and our faith will see us through to this battle's end. Lucas has fought so hard and so valiantly and is winning. I cannot wait to one day share the news of his victory.
I love each and every one of you. Happy Anniversary, Lucas. Cancer picked on the wrong kid.
I've been asked by a couple of you for an update, so I'll share what we know thus far: There's no evidence of active disease anywhere in the soft tissue or bone. He had a bone marrow biopsy and another set of scans this week to determine if there's any disease anywhere...
Regardless, he's scheduled to begin maintenance therapy (high-dose Vitamin A immunotherapy) next week. He'll be in the hospital for 4 days. This will be done monthly for the next 6-8 months. He is beating this disease. Our hope is that by Halloween, it's gone and stays gone.
