Hello all...well this is our official blog. As you all know Jordon was diagnosed with testicular cancer October 31st of last year. He has been so strong through surgery, CT scans, many blood draws and doctor visits. Unfortunately, two weeks ago we received news that the cancer has reared its ugly head again. His cancer markers were elevated so they did a full body CT scan and it shows a 1/2 inch tumor in his lower back area. Its called a retroperitoneal germ cell tumor. Its located between his spine and his intestinal cavity.
We met with the surgeon today and he will be having a biopsy on Thursday the 9th. They will try to obtain a biopsy of the tumor via laproscopic surgery but if that is unsuccessful they will be opening up his abdomen to obtain the sample. After we get those results from pathology we will be meeting with the oncologist to determine his chemotherapy schedule.
This is obviously not news any of us wanted but he is strong and with the love and support of those around him he will get through it. Send your prayers his way and thank you all for your support and well wishes. We will keep you all posted...
