Lovin' it.

Trey's test and scan results are in and the news is favorable! His tumor has shrunk by 25% since the last scan in August. This is great news and the doctors believe the tumor should continue to shrink as the cells inside of it die. The tumor may not go away completely but as long as the cells inside of it are dead, that is OK. The MBIG scan showed the tumor still "lighting up" indicating abnormal cells, but the image was less bright than the previous scan. The doctor said this could be the abnormal cells dying off. Either way, she said it was all good news. Protein levels in his urine are all within normal ranges still. Next recommended steps are to monitor him closely with blood and urine testing each month and rescan in three months. Yep, that's right, NO more chemo scheduled. Whoo Hoo! So, I was ready to stroll down to the closest operating room and have them remove the Broviac catheter but I am settling for a scheduled removal in a couple of weeks. A real bath is just around the corner for the little guy. Thank you to EVERYONE for EVERYTHING especially the positive vibes and prayers for Trey. Keep 'em coming. He is doing just great and we are heading in the right direction!
