Aaron is officially out of the drug trial in Sacramento. Had he not had a brain MRI he would still be eligible, but because he was having balance issues and some slurred speech a few weeks ago, we needed to make sure the cancer wasn't wide spread in his brain. His ct scan showed minimal progression in the lungs and the MRI showed one small, 5mm, spot of cancer in his brain. That spot is what got him booted out of the trial. Now we move on to the next treatment. We will meet with a doctor in Colorado to discuss options and Aaron has already signed up for another possible drug trial in Sacramento. In order to be eligible for that trial he would need another needle biopsy. In the meantime he will continue to take Tagrisso and hope that it is enough to get us to our next step.
As Aaron's family, we think he is the greatest and we know there are many others who feel the same way. He is a friend to all and sees the best in everyone. Our Big A is truly one of a kind. Aaron has always been a healthy guy and has never smoked a day in his life. When he became sick in January, we never dreamed it was anything serious. Multiple doctors told him it was Bronchitis. By March, he and Sweet Lorraine knew it was something more serious. X-rays were alarming and the biopsy showed Adinocarcinoma Lung Cancer. He will soon begin treatment. He and Lorraine, along with Kaitlin, Maddie, David, Brigham, Ella and Lily are asking for your faith and prayers.
You are always in my prayers. A day at a time. 💕Love, Mary Kay Lewis.
