Hi all,
Today we met with Dr. Rengen at HUP. He is the radiation oncologist who will most likely be treating Dean he will work hand in hand with Dr. Langer who we will see tomorrow. The facility there is terrific. It is state of the art and the folks there are wonderful.  They have a ton of integrative medicine resources for us there (nutritionist, social worker, reiki practitioners and the like) its so easy to get to and close to both work and home.
It looks like they are going to start his course of treatment ASAP…possibly this week and it will last 4-6 weeks the first go around.
The primary concerns are treating the current brain tumors with radiation to avoid any neuro interference and to treat the larger mass in his lungs to stop any clotting.
Chemotherapy will treat the other sites, and MAY be able to be administered simultaneously. FIngers crossed.
Thee are several different protocols being considered and we should know more by Thursday am.
Dean is currently back in the office…go figure… and I am juggling this email with homework help and after school snacks.
Kids are dying to go down to their new basement hangout and hang-out…so let me get them moving! I just wanted to update everyone on today’s report.
Sorry for the brevity and lack of details…like I said, well should have a full comprehensive plan by late tomorrow.
Until then…keep praying!
We love you all!
