Not the news we wanted to hear…..

The cancer is growing again in Logan’s body.  If you recall at one point during treatment he was down to a spot that held a rating of a 1 on a scale of 1-30.  Last July 2015, he was a 29/30.  He is now a 15/30.

What does this mean?

Since his platelets are not above the required 50K to enter other trials, our only option is a treatment called Chimeric 14.18 Antibody.  He actually did it initially when diagnosed when he was 6.  Doctors have modified it briefly, but it is pretty much the same treatment.  He will be admitted Monday for 6 days.  Then he will take a 2 week break.  He will do the same treatment and take another 2 week break.  We will then re-scan and see if this is working.  If he does respond this treatment can last up to a year.  This treatment can be very painful as it can effect the nervous system.  They will be giving Logan Morphine along with the treatment.

Logan continues to amaze us with his positive attitude.  When asked by the doctor what he wanted to do…without hesitation he said whatever is next.

Right now we struggle with….everything.  Summer, School, Work, Life.  It Sucks.
