The hematologist oncologist said kenny has a large cancerous tumor compressing his spinalcord. The tumor is approximately the size of 2 fists and branches out to the ribs and into the muscles. This explains him not being able to walk. He received his 1st emergency radiation treatment today to help shrink the tumor and take the pressure off his spinal cord. He will have about 15-20 radiation treatments everyday. The cancer is throughout his body and they will be looking at other organs as well. He is in a lot of pain, so we are keeping him as comfortable as we can. He has a brace to keep his spine straight. He cannot sit up or lay on his side, so that is something he will have to put up with for awhile. The tumor is so large it has made his spinal colume unstable. If he moves too much he could become paralyzed. They will start chemotherapy at some point and possibly a bone marrow transplant. If he does not respond to treatment he may only have 6 months to live. So, we need prayers prayers and more prayers. We want to thank everyone for all they have done for us it means a lot to us. I will continue to keep you updated. He is north kansas city hospital room #525.
