Update 8/29 - Cycle 3 Day 16

Peter has been feeling great, which is such a blessing. We are about to get last chemo dose of the second to last cycle right now.

However, Peter's WBC is low (2.0 WBC, 500 Neutrophils), so he's at risk of infection. Going to be careful if we go out of the house.[...]

X-Ray Results - 8/3/17

Hey everyone, we've got some news.

Peter has had pain in his neck, which we mentioned to our primary doctor yesterday. They ordered an X-ray, and we just found out his diagnosis is a "displaced C7 spinous process fracture." According to our searching, "it's a stable fracture, commonly called clay-shovelers fracture." One of the protruding parts of the bone in his spine is broken. But it doesn't affect his nerves, and starting tomorrow Peter will need to wear a neck collar as much as possible. We believe it happened about a week and a half ago (while on an easy walk of all things!). The doctors say it should only take a few weeks to mend. They actually don't expect or need the bone to fuse back together, the major concern is ligament repair.[...]

2nd Update 8/1/17

Some of you may have seen Peter's Facebook status asking for prayer about an hour ago. Thank you for praying! Since then, we got in touch with his doctor (the Cancer Center has the BEST after hours system--so thankful), he took some medicine and he is doing MUCH better. His temperature is in a better range, we have stayed home and he is sleeping now which is really good. Please keep praying for rest, no fever, and no breathing problems or nausea. (And you can pray for Esther to have a great night staying with our friends, and that her teeth come all the way in and stop bugging her too!) Thank you so very much everyone! [...]

Cycle 2, Day 9 - 8/1/17

From Peter:

Last week we reported that the main tumor marker went up from 60,000 to 184,000. We were told in the beginning that one round of chemo might cause an increase of markers into the bloodstream, so we weren't caught off guard.[...]
