Anti-Angiogenesis Treatment Day 4

It is Sunday night about 10:48 pm and Jake is in the shower feeling better. The last two nights were fairly rough. Apparently it was really a lot to try and do 2 treatments one hour each per day and Jake was getting much too tired. So Dr. Kumar modified his treatment to 1 per day for 1.5 hours which should yield the same results. Today Jake slept for 17 hours! Now he appears to be more himself. We have 3 more days of treatment, then one day of rest before the trip back home begins. On another note, you may have read in an earlier blog entry ("A Nice Story"), about the man and his wife who came over to do the Cytotron treatment specifically because they read about Jake in the paper. The woman who is paralyzed from the waist down and unable to move her arm. Yesterday, after 16 days of Cytotron therapy she started moving her arm again! Today, she has begun to get feeling back in her legs. When her husband told us this I was overcome with the nicest feeling I have ever had. That of helping change someones life for the better. It re-confirms my mission which is to help bring news of this technology to the world.
I have been organizing the emails over the past two years that I have sent out concerning Jakes care. I am using them as a reference while I write my book "Saving Jake". I have to admit, it has been a pretty intense 2 years! Looking at the emails now, it seems difficult to believe we have gone through all of that, I hope not to have to do that again. Only time will tell. I would expect that Jake will sleep almost constantly for about 2 weeks when he gets home to his own bed and his dog. I think we will really start to see the Jake, off chemo that we have not seen since almost two years ago when he walked into my office one afternoon and said "Dad, I think I have Carpal Tunnel" At the time I said "Shut up Jake, you don't have Carpal Tunnel". What a hard way to be right!
