Pathology and Chemo update

Some GREAT and not so great news...
Fantastic news - Randy's pathology report came back - the tumor they took out of his ankle was around 90% dead. 90% is the cut off for good response. They are happy with that. Some other kids have been getting 30% and 60% lately. Randy's friend Lisa got her report back today and hers was 95% dead. YEAH for Randy and Lisa!!!

Not so great news - They have postponed Randy next chemo round that was supposed to start tomorrow until possibly next week. The doctors have been concerned about a few black spots on his leg. It could be dead skin, which would mean a new surgery Monday. They will decide that on Monday at the appointment. Surgery could cause an infection, which could cause an amputation. So, PLEASE PRAY that the spots get better by Monday!
If they do not do the surgery Monday, then chemo will start early next week sometime.

The Bultena family has so much going on with Randy's cancer, Robbie's baseball, Rachel's track, and all the Senior stuff and graduation coming up. Let's hope Randy is on a good schedule to be able to walk at Graduation and enjoy all the festivities.

There are some more fundraisers coming up QUICK - as soon as I get the info I will get it up here.
