Beep..Beep..Beep... UPDATE!! UPDATE!! KK is beating the cancer!

Hello everyone, it's Uncle D here. And yes, it's my turn to post an update. And I'm SOOOOO excited about this one.

As Uncle Mike told you in the last blog, Kelton went in today and had a full set of scans done on his entire body. After that they met with the Dr. to get the results..... (drum roll in the background)...THINGS LOOK GREAT!

Kidneys - The spots that were seen on the kidneys are gone!
Femur Bone - That looks good too. The doctors think there may be some water trapped in that area which is causing KK some discomfort but it's likely a side effect of the radiation.
Lungs - The tumors are still around, however they are not any larger. So KK (and a little help from the chemo) has managed to stop the cancer in its tracks!!!!

And the rest of his body is cancer free too. Nothing new found.

This, as you can imagine, is a great relief to KK and his family. So much so that rumor has it that KK and his doctor may have shared a tear or two after the good news.

So, what's next????? Well KK gets to postpone his Tuesdays Chemo treatment till this Thursday. This is going to allow him to go to camp with this 5th grade class. And I know he is super happy about that.

KK you keep fighting like a champ. You keep up your positive attitude!!!!
For now, this is Uncle D signing off. Until next time.

P.S.
I would like to personally thank everyone that helped out with the KK Kar Wash. From the Ron&Don guys to the kids that stood at the curb and washed car after car after car. This was truly one of the most amazing events I have ever been involved with.
