Today Cody Had to get his power port put in his chest. This port makes it so they can hook him up to his chemo treatments and draw blood form it instead of an Iv in his veins. Since Cody has lost so much weight and doesn't have a lot of extra meat up on his chest it makes him look like he has a 3rd boob. Its so amazing to see how far they have come with all the technology they have.

Wednesday June 9th
Today was suppose to be our first round of chemo, but Cody's liver biopsy was sent to Colorado to see if he qualified for a study that included an extra drug. Plus we wanted to see our options on surgery of his colon to see if we should remove the tumors first or proceed with chemo. After talking to Dr. Rich about the surgery he informed us that they are not as concerned about his colon as they are his liver. if we were to do surgery it would put chemo off for 6 weeks which is basically righting his own death sentence. The test results had not come back so we chose to Waite another week to see if he qualified or not. Dr. Rich felt like his blood work looked good enough to Waite, but if we had no results by next week we would proceed no matter what.

We found out today that Cody's cancer Had the right k raze, but there was a slight chance his cancer was mutating. Don't ask me what mutating means cause I'm still not quite sure. I just know that if they would have given him the protein drug with his cancer mutating it would have done more harm than good. We were told the study in Colorado had sent his biopsy off somewhere back east to make sure, but at this time we didn't feel like it was Cody's best interest to keep waiting we needed to get chemo started sooner than later. So Wednesday was the day we would start.
