Good New's From Seattle SCCA


The tests are in from Seattle and Matt shows no sign of the PH chromosome. The testing that the SCCA did was very fine tuned and complicated. This is great new's as we have taken Matt off the drug Gleevac. Since Matt has stopped Gleevac he is able to eat and keep the food down. Matt is gaining weight again and is in better spirits. They plan to take his double lumen Hickman line out the 1st of December.

Matt has been keeping busy with his on line classes to try to keep him caught up in school. He also enjoys getting away to our cabin in Shelton. He learned from his Dad how to operate a stump grinder and drive a tractor. We took out about 16 trees from our driveway, and spread 40 yards of black rock. Most of our project are done now and we can enjoy the view of the lake.

As with anyone battling cancer it is a long road back to normal. Matt is still weak and hopes some day to be strong enough to ride his bike again. He feels like he isn't making progress until Mom reminds him off all the obstacles he has endured and conquered. He still keeps his head up high with lots of hope for the future. Thanks for all the prayers and well just everything!! Lynn ,Matt & Family.

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!!!

Such GREAT news:)!!!!

Keep up the good work Matt, you have been through so much but when you don't feel that you are making progress, remember to go back and look at all the pictures from when you were in the middle of treatment. It really will put things into perspective. Give your mom a great big hug from me.

Your still in our prayers, every day! The Money's
