This picture was taken at Kevin's house this last Sunday (March 29th).  Kevin (middle) and his three brothers; Rob, Jon, and Mike.

Today is Tuesday, March 31st. Kevin went down today to the Huntsman cancer treatment center in St. George and had two bags of sailing solution administered to help hydrate him.

7 days ago Kevin had lost 6 lbs. in two days due to vomiting and not eating. At that time it was decided to stop all "protocol" treatment and simply give him food that would help stop the weight loss. 

Since that time, Kevin has gained a few pounds back, however, he has also become quite weak in the legs and has not had any energy whatsoever. He has also had very little desire to eat, walk around the block, or sit in the sun. He has not taken any supplements, and his back has been having spasms for the past 5 days that has kept him from sleeping well or being comfortable.

Kevin's PH has also been on the acid side the last four times checked (the last time we checked was 4 days ago).

Kevin's doctor reviewed the P.E.T. scan and also the M.R.I. with us today. There appears to be no signs of cancer in the brain, however Kevin's abdomen is full of cancerous growth. This was not "new" news to us, however the "type" of cancer appears to be what is called a "Neuro Integrin Carcenoma" which is a very rare and extremely aggressive colorectal cancer originating from the liner of the colon wall. The scan shows that it has spread quite extensively, and the doctor has (again) given a poor diagnosis.

HOWEVER! We are officially (again) rejecting this prognosis. As long as there are people who care enough to pray for Kevin and fight alongside him, THER IS HOPE.

Tonight we are going to be creating a new protocol that will take in consideration all that we have learned to date. This new protocol will be followed and adjusted as needed. His progress will be tracked and recorded and we will adjust as needed.

Every person I talk with has asked how they can help Kevin. Please continue to keep Kevin and his family in your prayers. If you don't pray, but love Kevin, now is a good time to start. I have heard Kevin say numerous times now that he can "feel" people praying for him. He needs to continue to feel your loving prayers, and so does his family.

This Saturday Steve Hughes has organized a car wash/bake sale "fund raiser" for Kevin and his family. Rite-Aid is graciously allowing us to do this in their parking lot on the Boulevard and   Bluff Street near Smiths in St. George. It will be from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Anyone who reads this and is able to come help support us in our efforts please do so. If you want to donate any supplies such as buckets, towels, rags, sponges, soap, or food and water for the volunteers please contact Mike @ 435-767-0160.

Thank you again on behalf of Kevin and his family for the enormous amount of love and support expressed.

With Love,

Mike Flaker
