I just received a call from Heidi about Drew down at St. Jude’s. I struggle to write this blog entry because it's not the best news to report, his eye cancer is back in his right eye. It’s a reactivation of a older tumor but it’s not impacting his vision and is very small. They are confident that this tumor will die with focal treatment but it’s a matter of time and making sure it’s not moving somewhere else. He is being treated with the laser and we’ve decided last minute to keep his port in………….We’ll be heading back to St. Judes in 4 weeks. 3 years later we continue the fight……..we refuse to give up that someday he’ll forever have clean report cards. On the positive side of things this is the longest Drew has gone without treatment and activity. We'll get through this, we always have, but for right now it just sucks.
Thanks for your continued support.

I haven't checked in for awhile, and for some reason I thought I would see how things were going. I am sorry that you didn't get the best news, but it sounds like St. Jude has it under control. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys, take care and keep fighting!!

We are thinking of you too! Cancer sucks! He is a fighter and we know he can beat this!!!
I check in periodically and was sad to see this unwelcome development. However, if the past is in any way a barometer of the future, your family and Drew will pull through yet another test with flying colors. I'll check back and will send all positive vibes your way (now from Utah, as we moved from San Diego). Hang in there, all! Carol G
Thank goodness for St. Jude and all they are doing to make Drew's life and yours as positive as it can be. We will continue to keep your little guy on our prayer list. You all remain on our hearts. Keep your compass pointing north! Bill and Jill Sievers
