In a state of shock, disbelief, despair, unimaginable fear and worry, heartbreak, panic.
Dillon's CT scan results are back.
The doctors expected full remission, which means that all masses and lymph nodes are gone......that is the usual course of things, 98% of all cases. The other 2% will have some mass left but smaller, shrinkage. In a very very very rare case the mass will grow up to a maximum of 25%, but that is so extremely rare.........
Dillon' mass is 43% larger!!!!!!!! It is now compressing his airway down to about half of normal, his left lung is compromised, his sternum is being pushed on and is beginning to bulge out from the pressure, last night he had difficulty eating so seemingly there is some sort of effect on his esophagus.
I cannot breathe, I cannot think, I cannot focus. We are scared, terrified more than there are words for. Have we lost faith......NO. Is this the end of the line......BY NO MEANS. Do the doctors have a backup plan......not yet. They are conferencing, researching, studying, talking on an international level to figure out the next step. There WILL be a next step...a plan of attack....a researched and proven effective method of treatment......it is just that they have to find it. The questions we all have and the unknowns and unanswerable questions at this point on our part and the doctor's are innumerable.
Hold tight everyone. Pray,pray,pray.....send this sweet boy all of the healing powers and courage that the universe has to offer......he needs it now more than ever!!!!
I'm just trying to breath right now myself...Sending universal healing and as many prayers as the minutes, seconds hold. Major hugs to all.

As the mom of two boys I can only imagine how you are feeling. But like you mentioned and were told from the beginning, this cancer is very beatable, and they just have to figure out the right way to attack it. I am praying for Dillon, his doctors and all of you!
