Ben Brewer's Blog

Apologies for the lapse in updating. The plan was to post on the second day of legoland. Unfortunately, as is normal, time got away and now we find ourselves back in the hospital. Ben spiked a fever on Tuesday and was admitted around 10:30pm. We hope to get out tomorrow, just in time for Beggar’s night.

We talked to Ben’s oncologist about our trip to New York and learned we most likely won’t go until January. We were very much looking forward to being out there for Christmas, New York in January just doesn’t sound like a lot of fun… Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Ben will undergo 4 rounds of 3F8 antibody treatment after localized radiation to the tumor site. The antibody treatment will consist of GCSF shots to boost his immune system then a week of antibody treatment. This will be be followed by three weeks off back home. Rinse and repeat 3 more times.

This plan puts us out to at least April before Ben is declared NED once again.

Many thanks to all of you who have helped us out during this ordeal. Your love and support have truly made it easier to handle.

In lieu of a post about Legoland, please visit Ben’s Photo Gallery and enjoy the pictures.

All the best,
The Brewers
