Steve’s Story

Well, what we hoped wouldn’t happen…has happened. Yesterday, Steve’s blood pressure was so low and he was so dehydrated from the nausea, that his treatment plan had to be altered. Radiation has been postponed for at least one week, possibly two. (more…)

I’d like to thank everyone who purchased discs from George the last two Monday Luchessi matches. He raised almost $100 last week and $135 last night. This money all goes to Steve! It doesn’t sound like much, but now that Steve is on what is essentially a liquid diet, every little bit is appreciated. When you are on a liquid diet, you have to have small meal frequently in order to get the necessary nutrition to function. His blood pressure was so low last visit, they almost kept him in the hospital. This is important! If his blood pressure falls too low, if he becomes anemic, if he comes down with a cold or infection, they won’t administer his treatments. We don’t want that to happen! For the treatments to be effective, they have to be given on the prescribed schedule. We are hopeful that they will shrink the tumor enough that surgery will become possible. The money raised through disc sales will buy a lot of Gatorade, puddings and soups. Be a buddy, send Steve some bucks$$

Yesterday wasn’t a good day. Steve went Sunday afternoon to have his chemo pump removed for this round of treatments. (more…)
