I know that even though we have had our differences, know that I love you and am proud of you for all you did for Jason. Thank you for taking such good care of him. He couldn't have had better. He loved you so very much!

Hope you are amazing! Jason is so lucky to have you and you are so lucky to have Jason. I am so sorry to hear this. You really have made me want to be a better wife. I loved to read all the things that you did for Jason. Please let us know if we can help out with anything.

I'm sure you don't remember me but I work at Jason's college. All of our staff and students were sad to hear of Jason's passing. When he was here on campus he always made everyone laugh and smile; a nice break from the stresses of college. He will be truly missed.

All our love, thoughts, and prayers from Stevens-Henager College.

our cancer story {beginning}

well it all started with a seizure December 22, 2009. After amulance, ER, ambulance, ER, ICU, Neuro care unit, we were informed jason had Stage IV metastasized Melanoma. there was one tumor in his brain and 7 in his lungs. And were sent home on Christmas eve {great way to spend the holiday!} With the course of treatment chosen then jason had a 6-8% chance of living and would be lucky to make ten years {oh! he was 21 at the time} well, that treatment{IL2} was tried...once and was/is no longer an option.so Jason received full brain radiation {and lost ALL of his beautiful hair} In June of 2010 2 days after finishing radiation we were given the option of hospice {they could no longer do anything for us} so we found another hospital {CTCA} in Arizona and shortly after started a clinical trial {ipilimumab} in Idaho. Brain surgery the 2 of DEC, to remove 2 of the 6 tumors. came home the 4 :) got the pathology report the 8, which informed us the first/main tumor was dead but the 2nd was still alive {which leads us to believe all the other 6 tumors are alive} now we are waiting to decide whether jason will undergo a 2nd brain surgery or more radiation..Jason had to quit the trial due to steroids and surgery so now we are waiting to hear when/if he starts it back up..this is definitely "in a nut shell" version of our cancer story...but it gives somewhat of a background without having to read the entire blog! :)
