Good day
Well there are a couple things to chat about today.
First off - Thank you everyone for your support and EXTREME generosity. Your help has made some of our upcoming news possible and aides in preparation for a future treatment option. When we heard of the fundraiser being organized we were very surprised and humbled. The results were outstanding there are no words to say how this has impacted us. The boxing gloves are a great reminder to keep on the fight and that we are not alone. Many of the other keep sakes also remind us we have an amazing group behind us.
As you know we have been exploring multiple treatment options. After some discussion and reviews with doctors they have helped narrow down the options to 2.
1) An Integrated natural path treatment Hyperthermia - a treatment applied along side standard Chemo treatments. Consulted with the DR there and I appear to be a great candidate for this process. There are some downsides though - the biggest is that the cost is not covered by our health care system. Then there is the success rate which is not quit as high as we would like so it comes a big gamble when the cost is aprox $25K, So we now know what it involed - 3 months living in BC snd a bunch of doe. So we are going to be prepared to execute this option at some point - if need be.
The 2nd option) Clinical Trials and additional genetic analysis. Biggest benefit here is that costs are covered by our health care system and the trials I am looking at include the treatment regiment I am on now. The trials here in Saskatchewan we have looked into and I just dont have the right Cancer to qualify. There are however many trails available in Ontario which do not have the same requirements - and I could qualify for. There is also a genetic analysis I can pursue which may open the door to other procedures or trials. All this is timely here and faster in Ontario.
Yupp - Teresa and I are on the move again. Back to KW we go. We put the
house forr sale and accepted and offer last week. Close date of Aug 15th. Should be in kw around Aug 20th.
So to prepare for the sale and move we have been crazy busy doing small home projects, painting and yard work so the home shows well. There was a 2 year list of tasks which looked impossible. With a little determination and help we were able knock it all off in time to list. The results being accepting an offer within 8 days.
Going to miss Regina - really do enjoy it here.
Also going to be glad to see everyone in Ontario and around.
Keep smilin everyone. More to come.....
