Remission

Abby is officially in remission!!!!!!!!!!!!

MRI and labs are normal. It is going to be a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!!

Abby will continue to have a MRI, spinal tap and labs every few months to make sure the cancer has not returned. Once she is in remission for one year, she will be given growth hormone injections due to her very low functioning thyroid. This will help her maximize her height potential and to get through puberty. She will be on hormone replacements medications for the rest of her life for low functioning thyroid and pituitary gland.

MRI Results

MRI results show that things "are stable and no evidence of disease". Awaiting results from blood tests for tumor markers which take a few days.

MRI an Spinal Tap

Abby had a MRI of her brain and spinal cord today. Along with that she had labs done for tumor markers. These are all routine tests to make sure the cancer has not returned. I will update the blog when we get the results of todays tests.
