Update 5/23

We were given the final results today and it is Hodgkin Lymphoma in stage IV. He begins chemo tonight and will do it every other week for the next 6 months. He has a 60% chance of being cured and then there is a chance that he will treated but not cured. So now we work on recovery and getting him back to his old self.

  1. Hang in there Kari. Prayers for Ben and you and those babies are headed your way. That percentage is very good and I feel very good that things will turn out fabulous! My Mother in Law was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer which is in majority of cases fatal. She has survived surgery and 6 months of weekly chemo/radiation therapy and is in remission since July 2008. Hang in there and HE will provide.
