Another Fight to Fight



Although I found writing on this blog helpful when Jayme battled esophageal cancer in 2009, I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to get my "therapy" through blogging again.

No such luck.

Jayme has been diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer, this time it chose to settle in his right lung. In November he had a PET scan and it showed a very small area in the lung that concerned the oncologist. They did another scan on February 1st and it showed it had grown enough to biopsy, which he had last week. We met with Dr Myron today to find out the results. It is the same kind of cancer he had before, adenocarcinoma. The Cancer Center is performing another test, then we will discuss the best options for treatment, most likely chemo. At this point, surgery and radiation are not options. The oncologist is also looking into clinical trials here and elsewhere. So, we won't know much more for 7-10 days.

In the meantime, we ask for your prayers and positive vibes. Jayme has started this fight with an incredible and contagious positive attitude. He has already made me feel better. I think it is suppose to be the other way around!
I will post again as soon as I know our next course of action.

Peace and gratitude,

Kay

  4. Kay and Jayme - Thanks for sharing the news, even though it's not what we wanted to hear or what you wanted to say. I heard this recently: God is not looking for us where we want to be or think we ought to be; God is looking for us where we are. So here we are, back at this point of encounter. You've been here before and come through -- you'll do it again. It's another opportunity for your strength to inspire us all. You're in our prayers every day, and as usual you are amazing.
    Love,
    Bill and Kim

Will be visiting soon my friend be prepared!

  10. I think the cancer should be sorry that it got you Jayme, more than the other way around. Find a way, my friend, find a way. I love you, I think about you, I wish the best for you. It's always been that way, it is no different now. I'm still expecting you to live to be 150! The cancer is Hosni Mubarek, and we are the people of Egypt!

  11. Like Bruiser said, this cancer picked the wrong guy to mess with. You've got this and we've all got your back!

  14. Jayme, Kay:
    We're thinking of you and persuading others to join us in praying for you. Here's a quote that might make you smile: An AA meeting is like an orgy. You feel good afterward but you don't know whom to thank.

  16. Kay & Jayme,
    You continue to be in our daily prayers, asking our Lord and Savior Jesus to hold you ever so close in His loving, caring, and healing arms.
    We know He is there beside us each and every moment of the day and night. He knows our needs, hears our prayers, and grants us His peace. Herb & Marilynn
