Reading about Ewing’s Sarcoma just before going to bed is not a good idea. If one is a pathologist or a student studying for a test, then this type of reading is fine. One is detached from the disease, and reading about the trials and adventures of Ewing’s Sarcoma as it attacks humanity may actually put one to sleep and give you sweet dreams. However, if one is a father as Mr. FOG is, and reads about the adventures of his son’s cancer on other people, it is clearly not good reading and certainly not at bedtime.
Please gentle readers, consider very carefully before reading about these mean cancers. Also given very limited research, applicability of mainly juvenile research to Mario's case only help only so much. Perhaps before bedtime, it is better to read about Ms. Lopez’s relationships, or watch a TV show to see which supposed stars is the better dancer or who is the better chef.
Yesterday’s meeting with the radiation oncologist was good because it actually gave us more specific information about the cancer. However these things also raise more questions. Besides the scary cancer stories, Mr, FOG did not sleep well because It may be important to identify if Mario has an extraosseous (not of the bone) Ewing’s Sarcoma (EES) or a primitive neuro ectodermal tumor (PNET). The research literature suggests that the treatment is the same, but knowing the specific Ewing cancer subset may be important for the chemotherapy to have its maximum effect. Mr. FOG knows that the doctors will have this covered, but he wants to know and make sure.
Jane was able to help yesterday with Oxycodone and has a medical technology background. He will ask for her to help on what kept Mr. FOG awake. The only thing that is greater than a father’s love is the love a mother has for her children. The love between wife and husband is also right up there.
Tonight I will ask Mario or Sherry read to me Dr. Seuss book before going to bed, be tucked in, and ask that they leave the closet light on.
