Latest update from Jacks Dad:

We're soon beginning Phase 2 of Jack Kicks Cancer's Rear End.
On Wednesday, June 2 ... or as some call it, tomorrow ... Jack will be back down at Nationwide Children's Hospital for a PET scan (sp?), which will check his bones for anything abnormal (I guess).
Righ t after that, we'll get to speak with Dr. Martin, his hem-oc (like that, Dr. Jen? LOL) doctor. She'll answer all of our questions, fill us in on exactly what Burkitt's Lymphoma is, and what the game plan is for his treatment and recovery.
Ho pefully we won't have to spend Wednesday night in Columbus. We're packing our bags just in case. You don't go through the last two weeks we've had and not come prepared for an extended stay.
Jack has been in a wonderful mood since we got home Saturday night. He's back to the Jack we all know and love. If it's possible, I think his mood and personality has even improved. He's a much more cheerful kid than he was ever before.
I really think Monday was one of the top-5 days of the Schneider family's life. Riding on the fire truck in the parade was amazing, and having all four of us on there at once was special. A huge thank you to everyone in the Lima Fire Department, especially Elizabeth and Toby Atkinson.

They know cheesey, Monday when I got to see and talk with them, I think they named everybody and where they were from that had signed Jacks guestbook, they really couldn't believe all the people freinds and complete strangers who gave word of encouragement.

Haven't heard anything today, probably they will knwo more tomorrow. I will continue to update.

One more journal update I will post here, nothing but great news, we are all so thanful for the support from everyone. Dad Jeremy's most recent journal entry:

I am exhausted.
B ut I am overjoyed.
T oday was our last day at Nationwide Children's Hospital until Monday June 14, when Jack is tentatively scheduled to start his two rounds of chemotherap y. Like I said in the previous post, nothing against Children's or its employees, but I'm glad to have that place in my rearview mirror for a few days.
Jack had his PET scan today, and after eating some lunch we talked with his oncologist, Dr. Martin. Every test Jack has been put through -- from the CT scans to the bone marrow to the spinal fluid to blood samples -- has come back free and clear of any cancer. Thankfully, the lymphoma did not get a chance to spread to other parts of his little body. We'll get the PET scan results Thursday or Friday, but Dr. Martin is confident it will come back clear.
So now we're embarking on the treatment portion. Right now, the plan is for him to be admitted to Children's for a three or four night stay. The first day will be to catch us up on what's happening, get comfortable with the process and meet the people. Then he gets the drugs pumped into his body.
The side effects aren't guaranteed, but Dr. Martin said she hasn't had a patient exhibit all of the side effects as well as none exhibiting none of the side effects. Who knows what it will be, but I'm rooting on him keeping his thick head of red hair.
Three weeks or so after his first treatment, he'll go through another treatment round.
And after that, he should be done. They'll run him through the battery of tests again to make sure everything in O.K.
There will be a check-up schedule for him, probably for the rest of his life. While it's not a substantial jump, cancer patients like Jack are slightly more likely to get cancer in the future.
It's amazing to think just one week ago, the words cancer and Burkitt's Lymphoma entered our reality. Now here we are, with a definite end in sight.
After getting about three hours of sleep after driving to Columbus last night, running around the hospital all morning and afternoon, and driving home from Columbus, my relief feels a lot like ... ZZZZZZZ ...
Oh wait, there's more good news. Evy has been such a great trooper through all of this, better than I could have ever expected a 5 year old to act. Today we found out she passed her preschool screen tests with flying colors; scores of 76 and above are considered above average, and she scored 75, 75 and 91. I'm so proud of her.
There's a lot to be thankful for around here. Especially the fact that Jack and Evy's bedtime is fast approaching.

Buckeye - It's really hard for me to write words to real things. That's why a lot of guys like football. It's not real. It's an escape.

Real life is tough and there's nothing scarier than when a loved one goes through a health crisis. I'd take bankruptcy and foreclosure any day of the week over what you went through. Seriously, I would.

So I've been reading this thread every day hoping for some good news and finally had the guts to write something. I'm really glad for that last entry and good to see it's just something you'll be looking back. I'm very relieved for Jackson, you, and his family and friends. This is great news.

That kid is tough, tougher than I could ever be. I'm happy for you all. :thumbright:

Now go take him to a Packers game this year and see if you can switch loyalties. He'll be so much happier in the long run.

Thanks Zombie and everyone else, I know what you mean when you said it is hard to write words, I am the very same way.

As far as turning Jack into a Packer fan, well stranger things have happened but I just don't see his dad letting it. lol

Jeremy(dad)is hardcore Bears fan, which I respect being a hardcore Packer fan, good idea though, maybe when the schedule comes out, I can get a hold of 3 tix to the Packer/ bears games and surprise them. Chicago is closer, but I would prefer Lambeau, either would go over big with Jeremy and Jackson....I'll work on it.

Thanks again everyone, it's amazing what a 3 week period can bring a person/family.

Our freind Dfoster is going through a rough time right now, so please send him some of the love you have sent my family.

Took me awhile to track down this thread.

Was just about 2 yrs ago that my great nephew was diagnosed with cancer.

I started this thread and was overwelmed by the response.

Since today is Father's Day, I decided to revisit and give an update.

Jackson went through chemo successfully, and now is tested every six months. He has been cancer free for over a year now.

The little guy has been amazing and is now giving back.

Yesterday he led a 5k walk raising money for "Make A Wish" below is an album his grandma posted.

A person never knows just how much a few words of support and encouragement can do for someone.
