I have been ask to repost the address for my grandson, Chance, and also his CaringBridge site address... so here it is. He is in Portland for a couple of chemo treatments. We are nearing the end of these treatments. I think he will be finished by the end of August.

The chemo has really taken its toll on Chance. He is tired, has lost lots and lots of weight and his coloring is pure white. He showed me his toenails and fingernails. They are chalking white.. weird looking.

Chance now gets around with a leg brace, but he can't bend his knee. He does some physical therapy, but has to be careful because the bone graph is so near the knee. He doesn't want to damage the growth plate which is located just above the knee.

He has managed to spend time at the ocean and last weekend, Chance and his Dad came by here on their way up to a favorite fishing spot. The next day, his Dad and sister came by on their way fishing. I guess that they have caught the fishing bug, but I'm not sure about how many fish they are catching. lol

Chance continues to enjoy getting cards and letters. Everyone that writes really does encourage him. He can't get over how many people have heard about him and have written.

Also, he is often mentioned on the trucker channel on XM Radio. He even did a phone interview on the radio. I'm amazed at how well he has handled interviews.

The only part of the summer that has been a disappointment for him is that he hasn't gotten to go with Papa JR in the truck. He always trucks with JR, but his schedules just didn't allow for it this summer.

Thank you all again for caring sooooo much for Chance.

Love - AnnieL
