Josh and Jess' Cancer Fight
There are no words to describe the gut wrenching feeling of a doctor telling you that your husband needs to come into the hospital right now because what they found on the MRI of his brain that he had earlier that morning is concerning. That’s how it all started... and then we went on a roller coaster ride of emotions.
After a short two days in the hospital we went from it being fluid in his brain... to it being a brain tumor and he was scheduled for brain surgery the next day.
The tumor was tested and was recurrent osteosarcoma. The surgeon was able to remove all of the tumor with no evidence of disease left... great news! Josh will still need to undergo chemotherapy and radiation.
For each chemotherapy treatment Josh and I will have to go into the hopsital for 5 days. The infusion will be administered continuously for those 5 days and then we will go home for a week and go back in the next week for another round. Josh will have 8 treatments of chemotherapy and 6 weeks of radiation.
We would be very appreciative of any donation that you can give. It will go towards our hospital and medical bills.

Hello Everyone!
My most recent chemo in the hospital ended last Wednesday, and it definitely took a noticeable toll on my body. I was a lot more tired this time around and found myself unable to even bring myself to pick up my cell phone some days. I am doing much better now, thankfully. My strength is slowly returning a little bit each day. It is amazing to think how much my body must have gone through so far.
Well, some good news! I do start my radiation treatment tomorrow and it is going to last for 6-7 weeks. I still haven't asked my radiologist how many weeks, since I haven't seen her since after the Mayo visits. The plan for now is to stop chemo until radiation stops. So I will be going in each day, Monday-Friday, until finished. I am looking forward to a break from chemo for sure.... It has been very rough on me.
I want to send out another thank you to everyone who has been supporting us through prayer, thoughts and financially. Without you all we would not be able to keep up this fight. We love you so much.
I hope everyone has a great Monday, and that it continues on throughout the week.
Much Love,
Josh and Jess
