Phoebe is back from her MRI. Now we just wait for the radiologist and Oncologist to read and assess the results and give us a report. We were told this could take a while, so I’m expecting a long afternoon of waiting. I will post the MRI results here as soon as we have them. Thank you all for praying!

Nathan thought I should clarify that although Phoebe’s MRI came back CLEAN today, with NO signs of metastasis or tumor growth, we ARE still fighting this cancer through chemotherapy. We are on week 5 of a 52 week chemo protocol. We were very concerned about today’s MRI because her sepsis has many of the same symptoms as cancer metastasis. Cancer or metastasis after this hard-hitting chemo will mean the end of chemotherapy for Phoebe, so this has been HUGE day for us.
MRI days are the most nerve-wracking days for cancer families because you wait to discover if all your fighting has paid off.
With other types of cancer you sometimes have the option to switch protocols and see if the cancer can be killed with a different type of chemo. With AT/RT, there is only one protocol with a 50% success rate, and we are on it. It is called the Dana Farber protocol and was developed in Boston. The other protocols available for AT/RT have about a %10 success rate. So, we are fighting with the big guns, this is nasty chemo, there is nothing stronger for it at this time.
Today we are thankful for the opportunity to keep on fighting! Please pray for healing from the fungal sepsis over the next several days!
Thank you all for praying!! AMazing day!
