TraviZ if you need any prayer or food or ANYTHING let me now!! I will send you my #. TAKE IT EASY SUCKA!!

1 peter 5:7
Cast your cares upon the Lord, for he cares about you.

Psalms 62:1
My soul finds rest in God alone: My salvation comes from Him

Psalms 27:14
Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart. Wait, I say on the Lord.

 

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, I have been home for a few days now, and finally getting up and about. Doing nothing for a couple weeks sure makes you tired. As some of you know I was in the Folsom hospital for a week then transfered to the San Juan hospital more in rancho cordova. But for my first weeks stay at the Folsom hospital, my bill came and it was just a tad under 71k, awesome huh? I hope medi-cal doesn't let me down lol.

 

medi-cal????? you don't have benefits

 

Medi-cal is better then the current offerings through Kragen. At least the hospital didn't need to get insurance permission for all my tests and surgery each time they wanted something. I am signing up for dental this year however unless I missed the online sign up date.

 

Hey Travis, This is Steves wife, Darienne. Even if medi-cal doesnt pick up the entire bill, dont worry about it. I do hospital billing. The hospital doesnt really expect a 21 year old that was just diagnosed with Cancer to be able to pay their rediculously outrageous bills. Hospitals write off hundreds of thousands of dollars each month for people in your situation. I am sure that Medi-cal will take care of most of it, but if not dont worry. Just ask the hospitals if they have a charity assistance program. Pretty much every hospital has a similar program. They wil take care of you. Take care Kiddo!

 

For anyone still interested in my progress, I have been out of the hospital two weeks now, tomorrow I am going to get blood work done to see what my current numbers are at, and on monday is my second chemotherapy session (I'm really starting to hate that word, chemo, lol). I am sure its going to put me in bed again for a few days again like it did last time, but in the end I hope it comes out for the better.

 

It will bro, have faith

 

Thanks for the update man. Youll make this and be stronger for it in the end. Sounds like you have a huge support group.

 

Keep the updates coming dude.

I'll be leaving this thread open, no worries.

 

...Back to the hospital for 2-3days

 

bad numbers?????

 

hang in there man! I hope you feel better.

 

exactly. i went in for chemo today but my blood counts are too low to safely do it. so they need to boost those numbers and then proceed with chemo. i am immune to needles now lol.

On feb 11th I am going on a road trip to stanford to discuss and perhaps begin for a bone marrow transplant
Day after my birthday

 

I'm close to there. Is that going to be an afternoon visit or something?

 

Yup drive there and back in one day

 

Maybe we could fit a tour of EA in for yas.

PM if yer interested.

 

Sorry I couldnt make the Tour Mike, It was a get in get out kind of deal, I hate dealing with real city traffic.
Good news is that the stanford doc's say my cancer is in recession so only 5 more chemo's (10 weeks) and I should be all done. I have to get constant pet scans to keep track of my well being over the next 5 years, and I don't want to go into details if it creeps back up again (very bad). so I won't bore you with that. But if you are interested I can post some killer 3D pictures of my body on the inside!

 

I wanna SEEE!!!!

 

I'll post them up tomorrow for sure.

 

im glad that the cancer mass is decreasing.

 

Great news!

 

Thank God! That is some of the best news I have heard in a while. I can't wait to see you and work on stuff and crap...

 

Wow dude, hang in there!!! My father had to have his spleen removed in 1999. It was bigger than an NFL football. He went through all the chemo and blood transfusions and almost died from being so weak and sick, but he hung in there and lived a good healthy life until Nov 2003 when he passed away from full blown cancer and pneumonia. I really miss my dad.

 

Heres a screenshot I promised.

 

You have a little weiner.

 

 

 

And you would have a boner with the male doctor around?

 

I was praying I didn't get one when I got my vasectomy. I was all doped up on valume, localized, and was vulnerable. Atleast my wife was in the room with me. What exactly does that pic show other than your organs?

 

ROFL - copter

 

well in the program its actually 3d and you can travel through my body and look at certain organs or anything for that matter from any angle, looking for the evil cancer.

 

Can you see it in that pic?

 

there is no more signs of it, I'm in recession now, so thats a good thing.

 

I guess 10 years ago my friend had cancer and had to go thru chemo. Smoked dope and didnt lose a pound. He was sitting up in bed one night smoking it up and the nurse came in and took a hit. Worked wonders for him.

 

Well that is definately great news Travis! Atleast the end is in sight. Sounds like you've been strong through it all.

 

I cant die without finishing my thirdgen

 

Amen, I say, Amen!
