Next Week

Sid's endoscopy to biopsy his tracheal lymph node is scheduled for next Tuesday. Then the next day (Wednesday) he will get his port. 

His oncologist, Dr. Nevela, told us the cancer board agrees with the plan to begin chemo. Sid could be starting that as soon as Wednesday (the same day his port is put in) pending the test results. He also asked Sid if he'd be willing to try a new approach to treatment that would include radiation after 4 months of chemo. Radiation is not typically used on stage 4 patients.  Sid asked him, "Would you do it if you were in my shoes?"  to which Dr. Nevela replied, "Absolutely."

Today we are off on a last minute trip to enjoy some quality time together. It may be a long time before Sid feels well enough to do anything like this, so we wanted to seize the moment.

Sunday Will Come

I had a good cry about a week ago. It's been a while since I let it all out when thinking about Sid's diagnosis. But as this day (and week) has crept closer all of the memories of this same week, last year, have come flooding back. A year ago today life shifted for us. Honestly, I feel like I've lived 6 years in the past 365 days (give or take some). There's a part of me that wants to try and explain what I was feeling and experiencing; it somehow seems significant to do so, even if just for documentation purposes. But trying to put it into words seems impossible; it's a bit too personal to lay it all out, and at some point it's only really comprehended if you're actually experiencing it. I obviously don't wish that on anyone. But even in reflecting on the gloomy and painful memories I am reminded of many kindnesses. There was, and is, a lot of support and an incredible amount of love. I do love remembering that part.  I also want to express gratitude fo

Complete Response

Last night Sid went to the Huntsman for his scheduled CT scan. This afternoon he spoke with his doctor to discuss the results. Dr. Nevala had mentioned at their last appointment that he was anticipating good things when his next CT appointment came around.  HE WAS RIGHT!!! Everything has continued to shrink; so much so that the lymph node up by his trachea hardly lit up in the scan. He is literally having a "best case scenario" response, or as Dr. Nevala put it, a complete response. In the trial study that Sid's treatment has been based off of, 11% were considered to fall into that category. If it's not broke, don't fix it. So, Sid will stay on his current treatment plan for at least the next year; chemo pills, immuno and targeted therapy infusion every 3 weeks, and regular CT and echocardiogram scans.  So many thoughts are racing through my head. Overall there's just so much gratitude. I should probably take time to more thoroughly record my thoughts somewher

Finding Out

Hey, it's Taylee. In an attempt to keep everyone informed I've started this blog. I'll be posting informational updates here. I don't foresee Sid doing much writing at this point. So in general, assume that I'm the one writing.  A few weeks ago much of my family was in town for a family wedding. This included my brother Josh. He is a psychologist/pharmacist and works in Texas at a VA helping veterans with their mental health. Sid had been trying to find the right combo of meds for his anxiety for a while and asked Josh for advice. After learning what Sid was currently taking, Josh urged him to get in to the doctor and adjust them. Sid was able to get in to his doctor on August 16th. In almost a throwaway kind of way he mentioned that he'd had pains in his stomach and was having trouble swallowing. Since we had met our max out of pocket he had no problem doing some additional tests. His doctor set him up with Dr. Bryce at Franklin County Medical Center for an end
