Yesterday was a tough day for one reason. We had to make a very hard decision regarding AA's next phase of treatment. Due to the recent development of cancer spreading to 2 places in his spine we had a meeting with AA's doctors to review 3 possible new treatments. There was one treatment that made more sense to us and we hope that AA will see that as well one day. It is an extremely dangerous path to take because it can cause many severe side effects to our boy. Long term side effects. We believe it offers that most aggressive option to beat this cancer, not keep it down temporarily. This cancer has no remorse for anyone and why should we have any for it. It will not claim our little man. The treatment requires intense chemo with very frequent testing along with chemo placed directly into the spinal cord area through frequent spinal taps. It will be hard to get through at times, we will probably see some dark days before we see the light but we believe that we will see that light together as a family. We thank everyone for their support and would like to thank Dr. L and Dr. G from Memorial Sloan Kettering for caring so much and for their support, understanding and efforts. We appreciate having them on our side. We are on our way towards beating cancer for AA. Together, united, strong and faithful with courage and love we committ ourselves once again to the greatest purpose of our lives, saving the boy and man that is our life, AA. We love you my son and we wont back down. Thank you everyone and special thanks to the Lord for his love and guidance in caring for AA.
