It has been a while since my last post. We have been quite busy. Going back and forth to Baltimore for 5 weeks and then trying to get into a routine with the kids and work. Shane has been doing amazing! He started with Pazopanib on March 15 and as of May 5 there is a 12% decrease in tumor size. We are beyond thrilled! The side effects tolerable. Mostly stomach issues and Shane is going grey early. But beyond that, there is no significant side effects. We couldn't be happier with the results. After all the ups and downs of the past two plus years we have something to hold on to.
The kids have been wonderful as well. They know what is going on with Shane, how much they understand is another story. But they have been incredibly brave and loving.
Our generous friends who have donated money and thrown parties to raise money, we are humbled by your love and your generosity. The total amount of $750.00 that was given to us we could not keep. We decided to donate the money to Shane's oncologist, who is raising money himself for a research tool in the fight for Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma.
This fight of ours will never go away yet, we believe that good news will keep coming.
Thank you again for all the love and support
