More Good News

The report card is shaping up nicely.

  • Bone Scan: Negative!
    No visible cancer from this test done last week.

    No visible cancer from this scan of his whole torso, head, neck.
  • Echocardiogram: Negative!
    His heart sounds good.

    Marrow remains clear.
  • MIBG: Negative!
    Nothing lit up. Nothing.
  • Audiogram: Upcoming
    Eager to know how his hearing is holding up.

If you’d like more good news this fine Friday, I have some. Peter started radiation yesterday already. They are radiating the tumor bed in his abdomen to make sure it never gets any life back. Ty and Erika were eager to get that underway, but it could only happen when his counts were back up.

Things are otherwise good, as well. He’s been eating enough since being off the TPN “food bags”, but we’re always pushing for more. He announced his new favorite food is spaghetti. Here’s some proof that he’s returning to his active ways.

    P.S. All the daycare kids are huddling around me as I read this update… they saw the picture of you ‘up-to-bat’ and they all shouted… “PETERRRRRRRRRRRRRR”

  4. I can tell from here that pitch is too short Uncle Matt. Good to see you out enjoying the weather Peter … keep smiling for us old folks, since we need lots of strength to handle everything you are going through. We’re going to the Brewers/Twins game next weekend in Milwaukee what do you think … can your team beat us? 🙂

    All I can say is “Thank God” that all your scans are clear. I sit here reading this wonderful news with tears in my eyes. We are so happy for you all right now. What a wonderful feeling to hear those words right now, and being able to exhale a little. We hope the radiation is going well, and will also do the job for you. Thinking of you always, and praying for your strength. Keep fighting buddy!

  11. Hey Pete ~

    We are sooo happy to read the awesome results from all of your tests.
    This is very good news! Way to go buddy! You are doing all the right things!

    Very fun picture of you playing ball that Uncle Matt put on your page. Looks like a Joe Mauer swing to us! We want you to eat a bunch of good food. It will help you get stronger for those home runs!

    With our love and prayers,
    Rod, Sue , Jenny, Ryan and Molly

  12. Great news! We check your website at the salon daily and all of our stylists feel like they know you Peter! We participated in a fund raiser for childhood cancer research where Ruben and some stylists shaved heads for those who raised lots of money for the cause. He wore your bracelet proudly (while buzzing off a local celebrities head of hair!) Your story and bravery has reached so many, so far away…keep up the fight and happy mother’s day to your mom and all your aunties.

  13. Peter –
    All those results have made the perfect Mother’s Day present your Mom or Grandma’s could ask to have! You keep up the great work and make sure you give your Mom, Grandma Hanson, and Grandma Eigner a BIG hug and kiss on Sunday. I will have to say, it is hard not to call your Grandma’s “Ms. Hanson” and “Ms. Eigner”. Your Grandma Hanson was my Choir Director at church and your Grandma Eigner was my teacher. As you know, we need to call our teachers by the proper names!
    You are a true inspiration! I hope to one day get to meet you and be able to give you a HIGH FIVE! Anyone who has fought the fight you have deserves that and a lot more!
    All my relatives (Holmquist’s, Koshiol’s, and Latzke’s) send all their love and prayer’s!
    ~Jennifer

  16. Happy Mothers Day Erika!

    It sounds like the news continues to get better, that is fantastic! We all hope and pray that your mothers day was a special one and that Peter continues to improve. As we drove by the Civic Center tonight on the way to bring Tanner’s mom a DQ(at work). Tanner said “look dad, the sign is still up for Pete to Keep Fighting” and I told him that soon the sign will say WELCOME HOME PETE!

    We love you guys and hope to see you all soon.
