13 November 2010

Hey everyone,
If you didnt already know,  Logan has been diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma.  This is a very fast moving cancer which affects kids his age. So far it is in his right knee, hip, pelvis, left femur, stomach muscle, both lungs, one rib, and all over his scalp.  Next week on Tuesday or Wednesday he will have a general anaethestic and have a portacath inserted in his chest which will connect to a vein. All his treatment's will enter through this.  We are at home at present till then.  Visitors are welcome, but please text or phone first.  Logan is due to begin chemo as soon as the portacath is in. Please post comments of love or support for Logan here.  We will update when we can, and try and check it daily.
Thanks to everyone who has delivered meals to our house and done washing, and baking, and all the other millions of things you have helped with.  We are blessed to have such great family and friends.

  2. Hi Logan, Tracy, Evan, Brad and Charlotte. I have spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about the epic journey you have ahead of you Logan. You must all feel as though your world has been tipped upside down. I hope you can enjoy this brief respite before it gets even crazier.
    I saw Erik Arndt tonight and he was gutted to hear the news. He sends his best regards.

  5. So Thats what those lumps were on your head Logan...I just thought you had played so much xbox, that you were turning into someone akin to Hellboy!
    I had a portacath put in, by far the best way to have chemo I found...it doesn't feel as weird under your skin as you think it will.

    The boys are out with Nige atm, but will post later...sending love and energy,
    Meg
