Heath has been diagnosed with Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma in the sacrum.
On 3/8/06, an incisional biopsy was performed on the left sacrum area by Dr. Letson. The pathology was prepared by Moffitt. It was reviewed by Moffitt, Harvard and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
On 3/20/06, we were told that the pathology was showing that Heath has Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma.
On 3/21/06, a PET scan was performed at USF's University Diagnostic Center. The results from the scan showed that the cancer has not spread to any other parts of the body.
On 3/28/06, Heath was admitted back at Moffitt. His first chemo treatment was started late that evening and lasted until about 2AM on 4/1/06.
His strength and appetite are coming back slowly.
Keep praying for his healing and strength.
