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!

Counts are up again!

Counts are up again, so chemo in the morning!  This is the long-day chemo.  We will be starting the i.v. about 9:30 tonight.  I never thought I would be storing i.v. fluid in my fridge!  Since they delayed his chemo by one week that messes up the last day of chemo till his birthday, April 19th!  He told me that he refuses to have chemo on his birthday...so maybe it will be the day after!
