Moffitt appointment with doctors 5/1/08
Karis and Heath met with the doctors at Moffitt on Thursday. The doctors do not think that the Chemo is working. They have ruled out any kind of radiation or surgery or further chemo at this time. The doctors at Moffitt and Boston, as well as Dr. Agresta in California and Dr. D’Amato in Georgia are all looking for a new Clinical Trial for him. The Sarcoma Annual Meeting is May 30th thru June 5th. We are praying that they all put their heads together and come up with a protocol for Heath. Karis is looking at alternative medicine at this time and is in touch with MD Anderson for a Clinical Trial with Whey Protein also known as Glutathione. She spoke with the Clinical Nurse today. Heath is on a strong vitamin regimen as well as an organic diet and organic juicing. He will be meeting with two different natural doctors this week. The chemo has been hard on his body and this vitamin protocol should boost his immune system and bring his antioxidant levels up.
We are asking for your prayers as we are praying for a miracle. The doctors have been amazing and we are not giving up.

Heath and Family,
You are in our prayers daily and have been since back in Boston. We are just praying harder for you now. You are not alone in this, we have a little almost 4 year old up here that went to Boston also, and now she has relapsed and it is in her Right lung also. They are now only giving her oral chemo, to slow the tumor down not to get rid of it. Her mother is not giving up either and is at a loss as to what to try next. Her tumor is a sarcoma but a different type then yours and Nicks.
I have not told Nick of this new info about what's happening with you, not sure how he will take it. With Graduation day approaching and all, he just had all new PET scans of his full body and CT's on his lungs, and thank God he is still clear of cancer the old tumor area is unchanged since his last scans and his CT of lungs show no new growths.
At Nick's site I have web info on the little girls site also.
