Good evening.
We are still awaiting news. I will most likely call Connie tomorrow. Please continue to pray that the suspicious spot they saw is just 'shine through' from the ribs. We have a copy of the bone scan and the chest CT, and in the chest CT there is an arrow pointing to something that is in 4 slides. They don't point an arrow at nothing. They point an arrow at something they want to keep an eye on. Please pray. Thank you.

And while we are on the subject of prayer, please pray for Sara. She had scans on Monday, also, and they found a new lung met. She is scheduled for surgery for another thoracotomy on Tuesday. They are going in through her old scar. Please pray that they are able to get that met out, and any other mets they might find. Please pray that the met(s) are all DEAD!! Also, please pray that they can figure out what the next course of treatment is for Sara. I know that when we talked to Connie, she told us that if the mets in David's lungs that they are watching should need to be removed, that is all they will do. No more chemo for David. But I don't know if that is the case with Sara. Thank you for your prayers for her.
I share the same sentiment with a lot of my facebook friends; who also happen to be parents of a child with cancer. People get so offended when we want the GOLD to be as important as the PINK! We focus soooooo much on ONE cancer. There are tons (unfortunately) of other cancers out there. My passion is Childhood Cancer for a couple reasons. One, is of course because my son has Childhood Cancer. Another reason is it is frustrating that children get so little funding! The vast majority of women (and men) diagnosed with breast cancer are successfully treated. Sadly, some lose their battle to this disease. I don't know how to say this so as not to offend, so I apologize in advance if I do. We need to keep in mind just how tragic it is when a child dies. It is sad when an adult dies, of course, but when a child dies we lose generations of people. We lose their children, and grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, etc. We don't lose someone who has already had their families, we lose someone who never had a chance to have their families. Please, again, I don't mean to offend. Life is precious, and one isn't any more important than another. It just makes a huge impact on society when generations are lost. That is why it makes me so angry and frustrated that children get so little funding. I am re-posting the pie chart of where the money goes that is raised from the American Cancer Society. Please keep the word and awareness out there!! I thank you, my family thanks you, and all the possible saved generations thank you.

We are going camping tomorrow. We will come home on Sunday. It might be our last camping trip for the year, we will see. We are pretty excited to go! We will leave after David gets off school. He has an Elluminate class at 1, so we will be going after that.
It is late, and I am tired. Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. If I find out the results of David's scans before we leave, I will post and let you know. Thanks for praying for us, and for Sara and her family. Thank you for being there for us. Thank you for your love, prayers, support, and for the deposits in David's account. God bless you all. We love you.
Kristi and the Koury Klan

The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) federal budget was $4.6 billion. Of that, breast cancer received 12%, prostate cancer received 7%, and all 12 major groups of pediatric cancers combined received less than 3%.
