Good News!

Wow! We had great news tonight! All of the tests that
Chase has endured so far has come back clear! We are
feeling more relieved.
We will be heading back to Cleveland early Monday
morning for Chase to have Bone Marrow test, and to
have a port inserted. He may have to recieve Chemo for
at least a year or more. Plans are for him to recieve
his first dose on Tues. We will also be talking with
the Doctors more on Monday for a clearer picture on a
plan of action.
Chase, Jessica, Aunt Jeanette, and Jane,
stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Cleveland last
night. Chase finally got to "play" with all of the
toys and be a kid for the rest of the night.
Jeremy, (Chase's Step-Dad) and cousin Amanda, drove
in to meet us this morning at the Ronald McDonald
House and spent the day with us going from test after
test. It was a very hard day for Chase. He was
exhausted. But, was very excited when he learned we
were going home for the week-end. (He misses riding
his 4-wheeler, and his baby sister Jewelyonna). Chase
will be staying all night in the hospital Monday
night. A professional photographer came into the
pediatric Deptartment, and took free pictures of all
the patients and their families. We will post the
pictures when we get them. Again, I would like to
thank Reverend Dee Whaley for being there for my
family, along with our church, Compassionate
Ministries. I would also like thank Sylvia Wott for
all she is doing!
Thank you for all of your prayers and support! And God Bless!

The Diagnosis

Hello all,
We finally have a diagnosis. It is called Aveolar
Rhabdomyosarcoma. We still are trying to find out what
stage it is in. Chase had a cat scan and it did show
that it has NOT spread into the lungs. Praise God! He
did go thru numerous other tests today. He also had an
MRI. In the morning (friday) he will be going for a Bone Scan.
Jessica, Myself (Jane), and Aunt Jeanette and Chase are
staying at the Ronald McDonald House. I would
personally love to thank Rev. Dee and Martha Whaley
and our AWESOME Church, Compassionate Ministries for
all they have done for my family.
Chase is doing fine. On the way to Cleveland this
morning, Chad Berger (Chase's Dad) showed Chase his
shaven head, to let him know that it is soooo cool to
be bald!
Thank you all for your prayers and concerns. And God Bless.
Jane And Jessica

Chase also has an email that messages will get passed to him and the family the email is chaseberger@inbox.com

Information About Chase

Hello Everyone,
My phone has been ringing off the hook today with everyone asking about Chase. Thank you all for your prayers and concerns. We had Chase to his appointment at the Cleveland Clinic yesterday. He had numerous eye exams and a few other tests.
We still don't have the final reports from the Mayo Clinic as to what type of Cancer it is. We know it is a Sarcoma- a Cancer that invades the soft tissue. The pathologists report from Mansfield Hospital stated that they did find there are still cancer cells present in the eye area. On Thurs. January 5th, we will be heading back to Cleveland where Chase will have 3 CAT scans, an MRI, and more blood tests. On Friday we will go back for a bone test and other tests. The Doctors want to start Radiation treatments as soon as possible. He will have these treatments everyday, Monday thru Friday for (6) consecutive weeks. After that he will start Chemo Treatments. The Doctors advised us all that we should all have a flu shot, just to keep any bugs from Chase.
Sylvia Wott let me know that there will be a Rummage Sale at the First United Methodist Church on Friday and Saturday January 20th and 21st. The Church is located at 510 W. Maple St Clyde OH. Money from the sale will go to the families of little Kole Keller who is also a 4 year old that has brain cancer who also lives in Clyde and Chase Berger. If you would like to donate any items for the sale, you may drop them off at the church by Jan. 19th after 1pm, or take items to Sylvia Wotts home located at 4463 Cty Rd 223 Clyde OH. Any questions about the Rummage Sale will be handled by her. Her phone number is (419) 547-9772.

Again, Thank you all for your prayers and concerns. And God Bless.
