This is Jake's Story...
Jake is a 20-year-old twin who has been diagnosed with stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma, a very rare form of cancer. Going through a vigorous daily radiation treatment and weekly Chemo treatments make him extremely tired, weak and sometimes nauseous.
Jake is otherwise a normal teenage kid. He likes playing computer games, paintball, swimming and golfing. He loves hanging out with his four brothers, 4 wheeling, camping, and ruining his mom's laundry baskets while making home videos. He hopes to someday become a computer programmer.
This blog was started to keep his family and friends updated on his status.
Addendum: Jake became cured of cancer, free of pain and everything this world brings on September 29, 2010. He continues his journey in Heaven. He is doing awesome! Hope you're doing the same!
His family thanks you for your generosity in donations, love and service. God has shown us many tender mercies!
Thanks for being one of them!
Got a call from the Dr. Gilbert. She said that the stains are coming back negative, so they still don't know what he has or how to treat it. They are waiting for another set of stains to be ready around 5:00 pm today. The Lab guy has to analyze it and they have a rush on it, so again, waiting.
Plan B is, if this set of stains comes back negative, is to surgically take the whole lymph node out (which she says is pretty big). This will be a same day surgery type of thing. I told her to go ahead and schedule it with Dr. Nelson because usually it takes a few days to get on the schedule.
If I hear something tonight or in the morning, I'll post it.
Please pray for the doctors to find some answers! They can't treat him until they know what it is.
Thanks for your
