good results

i have literally been sitting on the edge of my seat for days.

since lily's pet scan and mri i have been having migraines, loss of appetite, nausea... never before has stress and anxiety caused me so many physical aliments.

the news is good.  the chemo is working.  the tumor is shrinking.  it is less metabolically active then before. since we were unable to biopsy there was a bit of uncertainty as to the type of tumor.  however, we now know that it is in fact a glioma (as suspected). and better yet, a low grade glioma.

we are far from out of the woods, but i am relieved that we are tip toein' in the right direction.  treating the right thing with the right medication and it is working.  it. is. working.

every one of you has played a part.  all your love, prayers and thoughts.  you have surrounded us with so much.  she feels it, how could she not?  it has strengthened her little body to fight.

thank you.

tonight i am all smiles.
