Second round of chemo
We had a good trip into San Francisco yesterday to UCSF. We met with a pediatric oncologist there and she had a chance to look at Kyler’s latest MRI and read the summary of his radiation treatment. She will also have the slides from his tumor looked at to double check the diagnosis. We should get a response from UCSF regarding his pathology diagnosis by the end of this week. Although UCSF has a doctor who specializes in CAM (complementary and alternative medical) therapies, they do not currently see pediatric patients. California law will not allow parents to decide between conventional and alternative medical approaches for children. We will have to pursue an integrative approach to Kyler’s treatment on our own.
Essentially, we received the same information from the doctor in San Francisco that we did during our meeting last Tuesday. But we wanted to get a second set of eyes on Kyler’s case and another opinion. I’m glad we did.
On the way home, Kyler ate a whole kids pizza at the California Pizza Kitchen. We were astounded. He hasn’t eaten that much in a very long time. Unfortunately, he threw up as we were picking up his brother up from a neighbors house.
His second round of chemo will start Thursday September 28th. Please pray for Kyler during this second round which will start about 2:00 PM. He will stay in the hospital for approximately 24 hours barring any unforeseen complications.
You all are pretty well versed by now in how to pray for Kyler during chemo. Many thanks again to the veterans who continue to fight on their knees for him.
Blessings,
Darrell

We will continue to pray for Kyler and the rest of the family also. Much love, The McCrearys
We are continuing to pray for Kyler and you all. Hopefully the docs at UCSF will shed some new ability to offer you more control in his situation. We are praying for wisdom, hope, and strength for you all. Love, the Goldens
Dear Sandie and Darrell,
We are so thankful that you are seeing outside the box on this illness. Integrated medicine will at least give Kyler an opportunity to have a more strengthened immune system to help the rest of the body do its job. There are so many preparations in the naturopathic realm. Uncle Steve purchased a set of videos and, I think, audio cassettes at the Cancer conference which was a gathering of the top Doctors and Naturopaths in the world treating cancer with alternative medicine. Most of them are known as medical mavericks and some have had their lives threatened. The nations drug companies have one of the strongest lobbying groups in Congress. We will send them to you and you can share them with your ND for review. Just keep doing what the Lord has given you wisdom to do to help protect precious Kyler. Love to you all- Aunt Jan
