Adrian is 11 years old, In the summer of 2011 he was diagnosed with a
rare
childhood disease called a Wilms' Tumor on his kidney and
had surgery to remove
it and to get chemo treatments, his three
months scan showed clear of cancer.
November 2012 Adrians 6
month scans showed it is now in his lungs.
He finished 3 more
cycles of chemo....
March 21, 2013,
They did a chest x-ray
and when they compared it to the one taken in
January it looked
like the tumor was growing. We did a CT scan on
Tuesday and it
was confirmed. This is a major setback. The tumor should not be
growing while on chemo treatment. We are moving on to radiation this
Monday.
Hopefully this will shrink the tumors enough so that we
can do surgery.
After that there are clinical trials that we
can try.
We are devastated and feel really helpless.
We
have done everything we know to do and see
promising results
only to get kicked in the gut.
He did 3 out 5 radiation
treatments because the tumor was so close to his heart.
The
good news is the they are shrinking but he continues to stay on chemo.
Currenty Adrian has been stable, tumors have not been growing but to small to remove.
Adrian still remains on Chemo till no NED (No Evidence of Disease).
What is Wilms' tumor?
Wilms' tumor, also called nephroblastoma, is a malignant
(cancerous) tumor originating in the cells of the kidney. It is the
most common type of renal (kidney) cancer and accounts for about 6
percent of all childhood cancers. As with any cancer, prognosis and
long-term survival can vary greatly from child to child, but most
children with Wilms' tumor can be cured of the disease.
Wilms' tumor is unrelated to adult kidney cancer. The tumor
usually affects a single kidney, but approximately 5 to 10 percent of
children with Wilms' tumor have both kidneys involved.
Paypay account will be transfered to the Merfeld's at the end of December.
