Update on Baby James:
James had scans done last Thursday. Of the remaining half of kidney, there are currently 3 tumors left. Once the scans were done, they found that the more toxic kind of chemo that he has been receiving hasn't done a thing. Those tumors have remained the same size.
On Monday, James underwent another visible biopsy. This is a pretty invasive surgery as the doctors literally look at the kidney. They removed 2 of the tumors, but couldn't get everything. There are still cancer cells remaining that they simply can't get out via a surgery. James is recovering in the hospital now from this surgery, but things are really looking tough.
The parents, Jen and Kelly, are hoping to meet with their oncology team to see what the next course of action will be. They are unsure at this time if they will be told that chemo will continue or if the regime will change.
I know they are scared...when the toxic chemo isn't even working...where exactly does that leave you?!? Please pray for James. Recovery from any surgery is hard...but when you are less than a year old and you are battling cancer at the same time...I think that would make life pretty tough. Please pray for his parents. They need strength right now...they are having to watch their son in a battle for his life. Click here if you want to see more on BABY JAMES.
