We are in Chicago now. After getting the MRI results on Friday, Dr.Hallmeyer decided to start Sean back up on biochemo, but without the bio! No biological therapy until Sean is off of steroids, so he will just be receiving the chemo part of it this week. The MRI showed a lot of swelling and some bleeding on Sean's tumors, so his Decadron was increased and he will be on it a while longer. He will be getting a follow up MRI probably sometime next week to see if there is any change. They do not know whether Sean's tumors are bleeding because they are dying or if they are just bleeding because melanoma sucks.
So.... Sean finished his first dose of chemo last night. He is feeling great, he does not even have to be hooked up to any IVs during the day! No side effects yet--wahoo! Hopefully it will stay that way for the rest of the week. He will finish up the last dose Thursday night, so hopefully we will be able to go home on Friday (because we love driving in Chicago's Friday traffic).
Anyways, the hospital is boring, the food is horrible and its hot! Ok-- theres my complaining for the week! I will update soon to let everyone know how the rest of the week goes... Thanks everyone!

Hi. Nicole. I know the last couple of weeks have been rough, and I hope you soon get some good results and can move forward. It's hard for me to keep up without my computer, but I just wanted to let you know I have been thinking of you and Sean and the girls.
God Bless,
Jocelyn
Hugs and continued prayers for your family!
Hey Nicole and Sean, Im's SOOOO glad to hear of the "no side effects" Keep on Keeping on - we are praying! Addie and Ella are being little angels :) We went swimming at groose park and Ella Pooped in here undies - thank goodness for hard solid BM's (made clean up a breeze) She has absolutely NO FEAR of the water. Addie seems to be enjoying VBS - she is learing that Jesus gives us the power to Always being Thankful, Always be helpful and this is applicable to us ALL Jesus gives us the power to Always be Brave. Amen and Thanks because Melanoma does suck! And it's scarry! I love you guys! Mom

Your whole family is in my prayers right now, as you continue to go through this rough time. I will miss Sean very much, even though I didnt get around to talking to him as much as I should have. Lots of love and prayers for you guys!
My thoughts are very much with you as you go through this very difficult time. God promises joy with each sorrow, and with time, I am sure you will find the peace that is promised. Until then, take care of yourself and know that many are with you. Mary
Well said.
