We've had a busy and fun summer and we have all been so grateful for Gabrielle's good health. Although we decided to hold off on treatment (specifically chemotherapy) after our trip to MSK in New York, Jeremiah and I were both feeling nervous as Gabs next MRI date was approaching. We have not been 100% on board with the MSK approach of watching and waiting and if necessary do surgery and have felt the weight of having to make decisions (chemo as suggested by Devos or nothing as suggested by MSK) every new scan which seems to always show slow yet still new growth.
Imagine my surprise when our dear friend an pediatrician called to tell us that DeVos radiology had finally claimed an MRI as stable! We have not heard that word since Gabrielle's nine month post-op scan and here we are at 21 months. One more three month period and we are at two years from diagnosis and surgery! But I digress. I was so prepared to once again hear "slow and steady growth" that I think I had our doc repeat the word "stable" to me at least four times over the phone.
We are so extremely blessed to not have the burden of making any decisions for another three months and I want to thank everyone for your ongoing love and support and especially your prayers.
