Treatment plan of action

Doctor Nicholas did a happy dance when he saw my MRI results stating the tumor had went down in size. We aren't sure, but we think their is a hormone connection to the cancer. He is confident enough to let me wait one more month as this is a critical bonding time for me with Liam. I see him again the 13th ofSeptember  and we plan to start treatment the 16th. It's a 5 day outpatient  schedule. Each cycle is 3 weeks. The first 5 days of each cycle I go in every day for treatment. The drug used will be Topotecan. We will do 3 rounds and schedule surgery after the 3rd round. Side effects unfortunately mean that I will lose my beautiful curls once again :( :( :(. Here's praying that God keeps giving me the strength I need to fight through this for me and my family (and friends).

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

You go girl, I'm so pleased as it also means you won't be in treatment while we are with you and we'll be able to spend some great time together.
Love you and see you in 12-13 days

Oh, that is great news Priscilla. My heart felt sore at the thought of you losing your beautiful curls again. I'm sure you've been told this before, but you look great with or without your hair. But I know you since you're a baby, so of course I'll always find you beautiful. :
Prayers, prayers, prayers....man oh man, sometimes that's all we can do.
Love and lots of hugs, Anne-Rachel xoxo
