Some of you may have noticed that for the past several days this website had been disabled and restricted from everyone. Unfortunately, I needed to make some security changes and updates that would restrict who had access to the information within this blog. If you are reading this, then I added you to the approved list and you have access. I anticipate that not all of William’s supporters have access, but this is only due to me not having their email addresses, therefore not being able to add them to the list. If you are aware of anyone that does not have access, but would like to, please have them contact me at Loissklopper@hotmail.com

It saddens me to say that decorum is dying in today’s society, and unfortunately it most often affects those that tend to trust the most. Actually, maybe I was just naïve.?
Enough of the sad drama and people that cause it. TIME FOR SOME GOOD NEWS!
Last week William had his PET Scan and Disease Assessment. I spent most of the weekend pondering the outcome and trying not to stress myself out too much with the ‘what if’s’ and ‘then what’s’. Finally, yesterday morning I was no longer able to silently sit and wait for the phone to ring. I sent William’s oncologist an email and enquired about the results. The email response I received was not a promising one. Dr. Anderson mentioned that he had been hoping for a 50% cancer decrease/response to chemo, William only had a 32% and therefore William would most likely not qualify. I was crushed! After a few more emails exchanging thoughts and possible future treatment plans, I received an unexpected phone call from Dr. Anderson. Dr. Anderson explained that he had a conversation with the director of BMT and after considering all the facts and data, William was approved! (90% approval, 10% depending on any newly discovered chemo or treatments that may be more effective and have less morbidity percentage ) TRANSPLANT IS A GO!
O’ and I will mention that the 32% decrease in tumor size and SUV (measurement of active cells) deserves and equal amount of enthusiasm! 32% DECREASE SINCE APRIL! it’s AMAZING!
September 11th is the scheduled intake day, transplant will be on the 12th. Yeah, let the countdown begin!
I want to thank everyone for their devoted prayers, love, thoughts, and words of encouragement! MY BABY IS GETTING HIS TRANSPLANT. .
This is William's journey and we will Keep on Keepin on' and Live Strong with God in our hearts and courage in our souls
