Hello everyone I hope everyone is having a good summer.
Its been over a month since I have updated on Kassidy, I apologize and I hope you guys have not forgotten about her. On my last update I talked about the pain she was having at her main tumor site on her right knee. The doctors here in Roanoke VA sent us to Kassidy's surgeon at the Medicial College of Virginia at VA Commonwealth University in Richmond.On May 1st the Dr did surgery to see if he could clean up and repair her tumor site. After many test and scans, they discovered that the tumor had taken over her knee causing alot of pain that was completely uncontrolable. On May 3rd Kassidy had surgery to have her right leg above her knee amputated.On May 5th in Richmond the Dr did Bone scans, MRI and a CT scan. Those test showed 5 spots on her lungs,1 spot on her right rib cage and on her left knee also.We came back to Roanoke Va . On May 14th thru May 19th,she received 5 days of chemo. On May 30th she started chemo again and will receive treatments for 5 straight days.We will have the same test run again to see if the chemo has effected the tumors any,the 1st time it did not. We are hoping and praying that it has stopped the cancer . I am asking you guys to keep Kassidy in your prayers and pray the test next week come back good.I had signed up to go to several camps over the summer,but basketball is on hold for now,my wife and I are spending every minute with her that we can,remember she is 12. I ask you guys to visit her web site at Kassidyspage.com and samefight.org Thanks and I'll update soon
