Greatest News!

Our visit today with Dr. Pinter-Brown brought good news -- Kris' CT scan and Citicosis report (a bacteria carried by Cockatoos that has been found in a few MALT eye patients) came back good and the cancer appears to be isolated.  Kris was thrilled to know his cancer wasn't caused by a tropical bird -- and of course the fact it hasn't spread was pretty darn good to hear too.  The doctor referred us to Dr. Selch at UCLA Medical Center's Hematology and Oncology Department to discuss radiation therapy and other options.  A schedule will be determined in the next two weeks so we're hoping to begin treatment mid-June.  Thank you for all of your prayers, we are so grateful for our friends and family and lucky to be part of such a strong unit.  Keep 'em coming!  P.S.  Kris celebrated with a beer, a Laker win and an Allie Zack-provided peanut butter & jelly cupcake.

    Hang in there, David. If anyone can tough it out with a smile and some jokes, it's you. I'm sending positive juju your way constantly... This is a great idea (this blog), Colleen.

    Cupcakes are good therapy. Well done, Alli. For inspiration Kris and Colleen, I suggest the great Miley Cyrus song "The Climb",
    I got to be strong
    Just keep pushing on
    'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
    I'm always gonna wanna make it move

    Don't forget to watch the cheesy video! Lots of love. Lorraine
