      After two infusions of the combo of Keytudra and Ippi Juan started to have serious issues breathing. He was admitted to University of Chicagohospital on Thursday. Scans showed that in 6 weeks the small tumors in his lungs had quadrupled in size resulting in serious issues breathing. He is cirrently in ICU. Dr Luke is trying one last ditch effort and Juan recieved Chemo of carboplatin and paclitaxel to try and stop the aggressive tumor and give him time to stablize and possibly other opportunities with newer drugs or treatments to save him.  Keep him in your thoughts and prayers and lets hope for a  miracle.

                            Dear Stacey,

                            your post just broke my heart… I'm so sorry you are going through this, I can't imagine how scary it must be… 

                            Don't loose hope, there are many people that have been through similar ordeals and have pulled through, hopefully Juan will too…

                            Wishing and praying for both of you…

                            Love,

                                        Stacey, this is heartbreaking to hear. I like Juan had significant progression in 6 weeks. I just want to scream. So many of us are in dire struggles here. I'm just pissed off at this disease. I'm praying for Juan along with so many others. This MPIP forum and so many of us need Christmas miracles!!!

                                              Good morning Stacey,

                                              Juan emailed me this weekend and told me of his ICU status. It is also difficult for me to take in as Juan and I were diagnosed at the same time and started our same clinical trial near the same week.

                                              I have over a hundred people praying for the both of you.
