Hello folks....just want to give yall a personal update on my brothers fight as I have had several folks ask about him over the past few weeks. Things aren't as good as they were previously. In facts its really up and down for him as they have found some more cancer and are having to get a little more aggressive with stuff not reacting to the chemo...but on the positive side, the liver and lung spots are getting knocked back well and the docs are happy about that. He's also fight a debilitating back pain from the tumor on his spine. He asked that I share this update and thank you on TBH as well as other places that have offered their prayers, support and good thoughts.. One again thank you from the Smart family..
He also sent me a good picture of him and the kids as they had their Christmas with him ....I think he looks great with his weight loss but due to him being sick many folks thinks he looks frail. I told him that was the wrong attitude to have and he agreed...
"As we head into the Christmas holidays, I wanted to give you all a personal update. This update is the first opportunity I have felt able to do so. Maryanne and I appreciate all of the prayers, donations, calls, and text messages we have received. I wish I had some good things to report, but it is a constant journey of ups and downs that change frequently, if not daily. The good and the bad, it’s always like that on the cancer journey. Every positive comes with a negative. My doctor at MD Anderson said the chemo has diminished the cancer in my liver and lungs; however, the cancer surrounding my intestines is aggressive and not responding to chemo. He will change the chemo range and find something targeted to that area and the specific range of cancer. I've been experiencing debilitating pain in my shoulder and back for a month or more - the most potent painkillers rarely touch it. After my PET scan last Wednesday, they discovered a cancerous mass on my spine (not in the bone). They will now treat this area with targeted radiation, as this is a new tumor chemo did not touch it. It is a daily struggle to monitor everything medically and get any semblance of peace from all the pain, which remains constant. I will be spending the latter part of the holidays at MDA. I am still fighting, but the daily debilitating pain is wearing on me.
We are praying the radiation will ease the pain. I wish we had better news, but this is where we are, the good and the bad. We still have options and are fighting as a family to get better. I hope y’all wouldn’t mind praying for my healing and peace of mind, as well as Maryanne's? She is shouldering a heavy load and has been my guardian angel during this affliction. As a family, we are thankful for ALL days. Thank you again for all of your support. We know the next few weeks will be crucial in this fight. We will continue to update you! We continue to cling to Phillipians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Love,
Jeremy and Maryanne SmartComment
