Dr. Tarontola 9:30 AM - Great News

The official diagnosis is Non-Hodgins Lymphoma. Dr. Tarantola advised that it is curable and that after one chemo treatment, his breathing will improve dramatically.  He will have to take chemo for 4 months and radiation after that which will take us up to the end of the year. His treatment will be for 6 hours every three weeks in West Omaha.


Ace will get a PET scan this Wednesday at 7:30 AM and will be required to refrain from eating carbs or sweets.  They gave him a list of the things he could eat.  He can eat steak, fish, chicken, vegetables and eggs.  He loves all those things.  The flipside of this is that he cannot have his daily coke.
He will have a Echocardiogram, a Bone Marrow Biopsy, and Port Placement 9/18/14 at 8:00 AM.

The Port Placement will be by Dr. Mortensen, and they were able to coordinate his Bone Marrow Biopsy done at the same time.

He has an appoint with Dr. Tarantolo to start of chemotherapy 9/19/14 9:00am which will take 7 hours on Friday.

We are so grateful for all the support by family and friends.  Thank you to everyone.  We are especially grateful for the prayers and blessings that Ace has received.
