We got the result of the 3rd CT Scan result done last March 22nd. We were scheduled to be re-admitted March 27th for 4th chemo on VIP chemo protocol (Etoposide, Ifosfamide, Mesna and Cisplatin), unfortunately when the Doctors reviewed the CT Scan result they had to change because there was a small significant change of the tumor. The change was 0.2cm. There were still good news like decrease in pericardial effusion from 2.3cm to 1.3cm.

The new chemo treatment consist of Cisplatin, Doxorubicin and Cyclophospomide (CAP) regime. It will be give continuous for 3 days and every 21 days. Before the new chemo med, Chad needs to have a 2d echo done to check his heart. I read up that Doxorubicin could cause heart damage, well every other chemo drug that was give before had side effects but Doctors need to make sure of how his heart pumps. It took 5 days waiting for the 2d echo schedule to be done.

April 2,2019 Chad started with the new chemo meds. I’m praying that we would be better moving forward with the new chemo meds. I’m worried about the short and long term side effect of all the chemo meds that were dripped in Chad. I’m scared but all I could do for now is trust in the Doctors and God. I need to respect HIS choice and what his family want.

We were both frustrated and depressed with these recent results but everything will be okay. We need to prayer harder in times like these.

We still need blood donors since he would still need to have blood transfusion. One of the chemo side effects is decrease of RBC, WBC, platelets and Hemoglobin. Every we need at least 2 blood bags for Chad so that his CBC would increase to normal ration.

If its not too much to ask, I’d like to request humbly for any help for Chad.

It’s a big help for us if you would be able to donate blood for Chad or help us with his medical bills or able to donate for his monthly maintenance medication:

- Pradaxa Dabigatran 150mg

- Ural

- Astaxanthin

- Febuxostat 40mg

- Propan with Iron

- Enalapil

Thank you very much for supporting Chad until now. May God Bless you and your family
