Thanks so much for all the words of support, lads!

Oliver is recovering well, and the surgery went better than they expected - they were able to get more metastasis out than anticipated, and it looks like the tumor and bits that were left behind (around major arteries incl aorta) were mostly dead tissue when biopsied.

They had to totally remove his one adrenal gland, and his intestines were temporarily removed to do the work, so the recovery is slow and they are taking their time to ensure he recovers fully.

Still two more rounds of chemo, then a stem cell transplant, radiotherapy and finally immunotherapy, but this was a big milestone in his treatment journey. After 5 rounds of chemo (prior to this surgery), the 8x7cm tumor had shrunk to 1x2cm, and the cancer that had spread to various bones had been totally cleared.

First, so glad to hear positive news.

Second, you both are probably among the strongest people in the world. I’ve known people to get destroyed over much less. Your positive attitude and hopefulness is nothing short of astonishing courage and fortitude. I hope and pray your tanks are continually filled.

We’re all praying for you through this!

Any updates on the little fighter Jay? Been thinking a lot about you guys. Is there anything we can do as a forum to help in any way?
