Exactly a year ago today (on 10/10/2014) is when I received the diagnoses that I had cancer. It has been a hard year with the chemo, surgery, trial drugs, Kidney failure and dialysis. This year I have spent 31 days in the hospital total. But things are finally starting to turn around.

The trial drugs I was put on caused havoc in my body. Causing my own immune system to attack my kidneys, lungs and bone marrow. I have finally recovered from that and the good news is even with the bad side effects this drug caused it did shrink my tumors a little. This Monday I will be meeting with the surgeons to discuss the possibility of surgery to remove the rest of my tumors. Once I get those tumors removed and heal up from surgery I will be able to get back to my normal life.

Everyone has been so nice and supportive. The donations I have received and just the support of my friends being there have really helped. I am going to beat this, I am almost there.
