Thoughts a Year Out

52 weeks ago tomorrow (Tues) during a routine rapamycin follow-up with Dr. Viskochil we learned that Travis' tumor progressed ~40% in 6 months. Tomorrow (Tues) brings Travis' yearly genetics exam with Dr. Viskochil and a whole host of emotions for me.

Over the past year, our family faced the decision to enroll Travis in a clinical trial (it didn't get easier the second time around). This decision lead to Travis and I traveling to the NIH 3 times to enroll Travis in a clinical trial that involves us giving Travis a weekly injection of Peg-interferon, a mild form of chemo. Yet in this past year, Travis continues to keep going, inspiring others along the way, usually with his trademark smile.

Thank you for the thoughts, prayers, encouragement, and hope this past year.
