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.

Prelim is in...

"...decrease in peritoneal metastatic disease..." and "...previously demonstrated right retrovesical heterogeneous mass is not visualized on this exam..."

Translation - Nick is still responding to treatment.

Nice.

More tomorrow after doctor's appointment.

Love Lori
