Welcome to the Waheezie Update!!!





Hello friends and family, this is a blog for good old Gramps, known as "The Waheezie Update." We thought a blog would be a good way to keep family informed on Cal's treatment, as well as allow people to post comments and feedback.

Currently, Gramps will be seeking treatment this week for Avastin. Avastin is a fairly successful treatment, where over half the patients on Avastin have no tumor progression at 6 months. We feel this will be a great treatment for Gramps, and are anxious to get it started. The first option will be to have the treatment at Huntsman Cancer Institute, and fight with medicare to get it paid for. If that option does not come through this week, then Gramps is willing to travel to get the treatment in another state as part of a clinical trial. We will keep you updated. Keep the faith and prayers going! Gramps has a lot of faith in this Avastin treatment.
