We received the official read from the MRI and the results are stable! So basically what that means is there are still four pieces of residual tumor that remain, two along her spine, one in her psoas muscle, and one that is just kind of...well I'm not sure exactly, but I think behind the large intestine. There is also a small mystery spot in her vertebrae that the radiologist says is neuroblastoma but the oncologist disagrees. They have not been growing, just sitting there. We are hoping they have become a benign mass, called a ganglioneuroma. Since we are now three years out from surgery and her scans have been mostly stable we are now scanning every six months instead of every four. That's great for Gabs, less pokes! We are looking forward to a great summer and excited/nervous for Gabs to start kindergarten in the fall. Oh and for the new addition coming in October.
I check in every now and then to see how Gabrielle and your family are doing. I am so happy to hear how well she is! I relate to all of your posts. If there is one thing that I have learned from this, its to appreciate each day, and treat it as a gift that it is. So happy for you all! Kerri Hinz
