Big Update - Chemo Continues

We got the results back from the MIBG and Madelyn still has some faint glowing in her left chest. This implies that she still has active disease. The plan from here is to do 4 more rounds of chemotherapy. Most likely we will have to do surgery at the end if the primary tumor in her chest is not 90% reduced.

We are scheduled to begin the next four rounds on 6/5/2007. This Friday, we are going to the zoo. There is an event going on that is just for chronically ill children and their families. Kaitlyn is coming down this weekend.

There is not much else to tell, but we're pretty down about this. We hoped that she wouldn't have to endure any more of this, but it appears we have no choice.

Thanks for your continued support.

I am the mom of a child who also has NB. She too presented with Horners syndrom. Please know that we will be praying for Madelyn as we pray for Keira - for a full recovery for both of them.
