We are still unsure of the treatment plan that we are going to do. Today we were given 2 options, both of which do not give a chance of cure or remission, the purpose of these would be to keep his cancer from spreading further. As of today, there is no cure, but we are determined to raise awareness on ACC and treatment options. We keep reminding ourselves that there once was limited options for breast cancer too. The first option is a pill most commonly given for pin worms (
so not funny) I told Ryan if he took that and started scratching his butt on the carpet we were gonna have big problems-tear - tear :( The other option is systemic chemo called the Italian Protocol. This is a combination of 3 different chemo drugs given together. Both have definate pros and cons. Ryan started the pills tonight to start with until we visit with our oncologist at home on Tuesday. This was a lot to take in today and we definately need some time to ponder.
I just wanted to let you know that we think and pray for you both and your family...it saddens me so much that you are having to fight so valiantly on a daily basis and the heaviness on your hearts...cherish the brighter days as best you can. We pray for you and know miracles do happen. Bless your family.

Really sorry to hear of this happening to you. It's a scary reality that one out of every two people will now get cancer. I don't know you personally, but I have done a lot of research on natural healing for cancer. This website may be able to help: http://www.gerson.org .
