Welcome

I thought we would start a new blog just for Fabian's health updates. Just figure the blog site for the girls is suppose to be a happy upbeat place to visit. And hopefully there won't be a whole lot of unhappy news here but this will be Fabian's place.
Today we went to Calgary to the Tom Baker Cancer Clinic. There we saw two different doctors and got some more information. It turns out that Fabian will need to get a MRI scan in Calgary and a CAT scan in Medicine Hat. After that he will have to start three days of chemo therapy followed by ten days of radiation treatment. Fabian will have to stay in the hospital for the three days of chemo and then do outpatient treatment for the radiation treatment. The radiation treatment will be ten weekdays straight with being allowed to come home on the weekend. This will kind of suck as he will only have to go to the doctor for about a hour a day and then hang out in Calgary for the rest of the day. After the chemo and radiation is done we will have to go in for surgery in about six weeks. This is to remove any parts of the tumor that might still remain. They will have to take a little extra around the tumor area to ensure that it is all gone. After all that we will have to wait and see if it returns. Looks like we will have a long way to go before we will know for sure if it is gone or not. Will keep you posted though as we get through each part of it. That is all for now.
