well john had his first treatment and he did fine. he was hooked up four a little over 4 hours. the nurse said since it was his first time they ran it slower. he now has a fanny pack that he will wear or you can carry for 46 hours that is pumping the chemo. with him having the port they just leave a line in and his little man purse holds the chemo and pump!! we will go back on wed. to have it removed then we are free to go. john will have chemo every other monday. after four treatments they will scan everything again to see how he is doing. i hope everyone has great day and will keep y'all posted! love john and nancy

hey everyone! john had his port put in today. he is pretty sore but hopefully he will feel better this weekend. he will have his first chemo treatment on monday at 3:30. from what i've heard this first one may not bother him to bad but we will just see. we will know then what our schedule will be. for those of you who don't know it is stage 4 because it was found in his lungs. we hope everybody has a great weekend and i will write on monday! love john and nancy

hey everyone, john had a biopsy of his lung today and it went well. should have the results next week. he has a port put in the morning and then nothing until monday. john and i are ready to start this fight and we love having everyone behind us!! until monday, nancy

Hey everybody! So the biopsy went just fine. Dad is now up and eating a hot dog! That is all he wanted, plus a milkshake! ha! They are still at the hospital but should be leaving pretty soon.

So this week Dad will be having a biopsy done on the tumor by his spine / lung on Thursday. He will have to stay a few for a few hours after. Also, this week, he will be having a port put in on Friday at St. Luke's hospital. The port is right under the skin by his shoulder, and this is how he will recieve his chemo treatments. This is easier than getting poked in the arm every single time! Chemo will start soon!!

Tonight he is having an MRI done on his liver. The doctors see something, so they want to take a closer look. So in the next few days we should know the results of the biopsy and MRI.

And he will have you know he has STOPPED SMOKING!!! Going strong since this past Friday. Way to go Dad!!
