June 18 - Setback....Pray

Ok....Guys.... I need your prayers big time. We had a set back based on my latest Pet Scan this week. I went to Emory two times this week. One, we did blood work and the Pet Scan. Two, we met with the doctor and received Chemo-5. The doctor met with us and said that we had a set back. All of the other Cancers throughout my body were gone with the exception of one. It sounded pretty good to me to start with. Then, he said I don't want to pussy-foot with you. The growth under your arm really concerns us. The Scan showed that the Cancer cells are very active and forced your tumor to grow 1.2 cm. I could tell something might be going own because the tumor was really sore through this Chemo.... So, where do we go from hear you might say? The doctor is worried that the form of Cancer that I have may be fighting the Chemo off. You must understand that I have a very "rare and aggressive" form of Cancer. Its so rare that the doctors may develop my Cancer into a case study.... Hell .... I got doctors from Germany looking at my case.... The doctor told me that the next protocal was to treat one more Chemo and then sock some radiation to that spot. It's looking very likely that I will have to go through the stem cell procedure that will force me to stay in the hospital for more than two weeks. That's not final, but its a great possibility... For all my football buddies, I will put it in Laymans terms..... We've played hard and took a 14-0 halftime lead, but we drunk too much Gatoraid and the Cancer boys came down the field and kicked a fieldgoal and its 14-3. The game is not near over, so pray hard for me... My family is having a tough time with the news..... I going to keep my head up and push forward...Do Not Fearrrrrrrrr......... tearrrrrrrrrrr.......Loveall you guys........Jeffrey Scott Blount #54 RCHS 85'

Jeff,
Ugghhh... Sounds like the doctors need to hunker down now and pull out all of the trick plays! We are praying for you and when you and Tina get to the point where you need help, send me the list and we will get it organized for you.

Jeff,
You continue to be in our prayers. I am amazed at your strength and positive attitude. I can only imagine how difficult and surreal this all is to you and your family. I just got done reading a great book, "when I Lay My Isaac Down", by Carol Kent. It reminds us how Abraham trusted God so much that he was willing to sacrifice his only son and that we all have "Isaacs" and just need to trust that God knows us and loves us and He knows that outcome. My God continue to carry you through this journey and the "new normal" that you are experiencing. We will pray more fervently for complete healing.

Blessings and Peace,
