My War With Cancer

On April 12, 2007 (at age 18), Nicholas Raitt was diagnosed with stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma - a very rare childhood cancer, located in his right sinus area. On April 15, 2008, he was confirmed to have no evidence of disease (NED). The cancer returned in his pancreas and he began his battle once again on April 15, 2009. On December 3rd, 2009, scans confirmed again NED but relapsed on August 18, 2010 in his abdominal cavity. On June 2, 2011, Nick earned his angel wings.

Scans today

Nick will be getting a chest CT and an MRI of his pancreas late this afternoon. We won't find out the results until our meeting with Dr. Chen & Dr. Gouw tomorrow for Nick's pre-hospital check-in check-up. He will be getting another round, regardless of the results. We are hoping he has been responding well to the chemo. Please say a few extra prayers for Nick, his medical team and family. I'll update again soon.

Love Lori
