Sorry for the delay in updating, we’ve been too busy having fun! It has been so nice to feel “normal” even if it has been only for a couple of weeks. I’m just soaking up every last second, and am not letting a single moment pass us by. We made it to the zoo, a few parties, and Nic has been able to go outside and play with the kids. He’s been working on Kaden’s baseball skills, and you should see Kaden’s face light up when they have their time together. Priceless! I live for these moments, and I’m not ready to let them go! But, for the day in the life of a Sarcoma family, we live life in 3 month increments. Tomorrow is scan day, and the anxiety has definitely set in. Please say some extra prayers for Nic.

Nic Sotelo Battling Cancer

nic soteloNic now has 10 Chemo treatments under his belt. He just wrapped the last one up this past Monday. These new Chemo drugs were supposed to be easier to tolerate than the last, but unfortunately that hasn’t been the case so far. He is still so  swollen in his legs/feet/ankles, it’s getting pretty hard for him to get around. His thigh right now is about the size of my waist! He’s put on close to 30 lbs in water weight! At our last appt. Dr. Chugh was out of town so we were only able to meet with her PA, Amanda. She prescribed Nic  compression stockings(aka Knee highs) to help with the swelling. The stockings have helped a little but get uncomfortable for Nic after a while. ( I call him “mama” because he looks like Vicki Lawrence from, Mama’s family in them-haha) Amanda also put him back on his water pill to see if that will help. The only problem with that is, it’s the same pill he used to take that makes his blood pressure drop, and gave him those fainting spells. They also decreased his chemo dose again slightly this go around, so let’s keep praying Nic can continue with these drugs! We are scheduled for a CT scan on November 30th. Please keep praying the Chemo is helping!!

Last Thursday, we had a meeting at Henry Ford with the original Heart surgeon, and nurse. I had given Nic’s case file to him to look over after I was so upset about hearing the tumor was inoperable. He assured us that Dr. Pagani is the best of the best when it comes to Heart surgeries. He may not have the best “bedside manner” but we should feel confident in his decisions. We have accepted this, and are just grateful to always get the facts even though it may not be what we want to hear. Our miracle will come, we just have to be patient. The “not knowing” is what makes it so hard.  With other more common Cancers, you get a treatment plan, and you know what the steps are, and what to expect. We don’t get any answers because noone knows.  We are all just getting physically sick with all of this. The chemo just has to work because I do not want to see my husband suffer like this for nothing!

Our prayers are being answered though, just in other ways. I can’t even tell you enough how grateful we are for everything that you all have done for our family! Words cannot even express how much we appreciate EVERYTHING!!  I promise to ALWAYS PAY IT FORWARD.  THANK YOU!! I’ll admit, I haven’t checked our mailbox in quite a while because the mailman can just keep all those bills!! Well, I did finally grab it this weekend, and all the cards, notes etc. that we received really  cheered us up, so THANK YOU for continuing to think of us!!!(I guess I should check the mail more often!) I do receive everyone’s emails, voicemails, letters, texts, but I don’t always respond back right away. Please know that your messages are received and mean so much to us. I’ve just been having “my moment” a little more often lately so I apologize for not responding to everyone sooner.

I always like to end on a good note, so here’s my cute story of the night… There are some wonderful people at Chrysler(forgive me for forgetting the plant name) who have adopted my children for Christmas. I needed to give them a list of 3 things each of the kids would want, and they’ll choose one.  When I asked Kaden what he wanted, of course he responded with a “Wii”. I explained to him that if they were to get him a Wii, they wouldn’t have enough money to get the other kids presents. He took that off the list, and said all he needed was a big bouncy ball, and maybe a new pair of swim trunks. He just melts my heart. He really is an amazing 5 yr old. Whenever we get so angry at our situation, we just look at our boys, and remember how blessed we truly are.
