The Whirlwind

Claiming these promises in this difficult season

Since learning of Kameron's "something's wrong in his knee" diagnosis back at the end of March, learning the next steps in the treatment process has been understandably overwhelming for us. In PA school we were told, "it's like a fire hydrant has burst open. Open your mouth and absorb what you can." Knowing full well, we would be missing some things. Probably, important things. Add stressed out brains and you're understanding and absorbing even less than usual. So we are taking the next steps as they come and learning as much as we can along the way.

As we are going along, we are picking up more and more. The cliff's notes version of Kam's treatment plan: Kameron will be getting 3 different kinds of chemotherapy (Cisplatin, Doxorubicin, and Methotrexate). He'll have 10 weeks (we are in week #5 currently) of chemotherapy. Around week 10, he has surgery to remove the tumor from his leg. Then after that, 18 more weeks of chemotherapy. 

We were able to schedule Telehealth visits with Huntsman Cancer Institute at University of Utah in Salt Lake City for Monday afternoon for a second opinion from their oncologist and surgeon. Getting in was much easier than our previous attempts, so thank you for those prayers. They worked! They have already sent Kameron's pathology specimens to their pathologist for a second opinion. We learned yesterday that they agree with the Mayo Clinic's interpretation: high-grade osteoblastic osteosarcoma. It's weird to feel grateful for consistency in a horrible diagnosis you don't want. It was also good to know Kameron isn't going through all this for nothing.  

We had a generous family friend have support bracelet's made for Kameron. We are handing these out as we are able to Kameron's friends, supporters, prayer warriors, and encouragers. Thank you to all of you in Kameron's tribe. We have people praying for him on EVERY continent but Antarctica. We have prayer warriors in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, North & South Americas!! We know our boy is well loved, seen, and supported. <3<3<3.

Kameron graduates on Tuesday, May 25th, 2021 @7pm (MT) at the Idaho Center. He is determined to be there. And he is doing everything within his power to get better, fight cancer, and make this happen. His doctor is supportive of allowing him to be there. Everything and anything the nurses or doctor ask of him, he does it. Even when he feels absolutely miserable doing it. We have known this about him for a long time, Kameron is a fighter!
