Day 7...Diagnoses is in and treatments have started

I didnt have it in me to update yesterday.  They have solidified his diagnoses as T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. There was cancer cells in his bone marrow (it stated 65%).  Every lymphoma will have cancer in bone marrow but once it goes over 25% it changes to leukemia vs lymphoma. So that being said we now have a 3 year journey vs 2 but there is only one additional drug he requires with the change.  In researching kids with ALL there is a 98% success rate of complete cure with first treatment and 90% success rate of  never returning.  I will take those odds.

Two of my best friends, Paula and Debbie, were here yesterday for all.of this.  I love them both so much and thankful they were here to help me through yesterday.  Wish they could stay the whole time.

Grandpa Art also showed up today and was able to help us through this.  Caine and Brody were very happy to see him.

Highlight we did get to meet another Rider Christensen Jones (or CJ as he calls himself).  He was pretty funny.  Hope to see him out on the field next game.

Yesterday he also had a PET scan.  He was very brave and took 45 mins and he didnt move so did awesome.

We started treatment today and if he does well we can head home in a week or two to.continue at home in Regina.  This will be.my view for a few months...

Even though this isnt the story we wanted we will continue on......please keep praying and visiting (but please call.or text first)
