Hello everyone.
So Friday and Saturday Jason started experiencing some numbness and paralysis. He contacted the doc on the boat and together they contacted Jason's oncologist. He suggested Jason get a CAT scan done. They were planning on driving back to NC (he is currently working in Baltimore, MD) but as they were getting ready he had another episode and they all decided to go to the local hospital, Walter Reed in Bethesda, MD. Jason had a CAT scan done and they saw something they didn't like, which resulted into having an MRI . Jason has a 2.5cm mass located on the right side of his brain. As it swells it presses on his sensory gland which is causing him to have left sided seizures. We have 4 teams of doctors, who come in these packs. Oncology, Radiation, Neurology & the Neurosurgeons. They are pretty sure that this is the Embrynal Carcinoma (testicular cancer) that originally spread to his lung. It could have been hiding there the whole time.
We are currently still here, while the kids are in NJ. Jason is having a long list of test done, a prolong EEG, MRI, CT & a bunch of other sensory tests. He is scheduled for surgery on Thursday. He will have a couple of days recovery followed by radiation.
We have the best support system. With all the texts, emails, phone calls (which end up in voicemail) we are overwhelmed with love and support. We have so many people saying prayers and we can't thank you enough.
We everyone who rearranged their lives to accommodate our kids, I can't thank you enough! Everyone that kept me company on my mid-night trip up to MD thank you. To everyone that wanted to help and I couldn't figure out where to have you help (Veronica, Melissa & more) THANK YOU.
PLEASE KEEP OUR FAMILY IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. Keep the kind words coming, it has brought smiles to our faces.
Hug your love ones tight tonight, things change in a blink of an eye.
