Quickie news

Ok... so today was *exhausting* a lot more so than we were expecting.... Derek and I will post soon, but the overall of news is:


  • Cambria's bone marrow and lung CT scans came back CLEAR, and her MIBG only showed the known tumor - so it has NOT spread!!!!! 

  • The oncologist is expecting a total of 4 rounds of chemo, ranging from 1-3 days long at a time, with 3 weeks in between. There's a chance that there will only be 2 rounds. 

  • We start chemo tomorrow. The first round will be a combination of low doses of Carboplatin and Etoposide

SO blessed :-)

Also - the doctors had a resounding affirmation of how amazing it was that Cambria's pediatrician found the tumor at all - apparently during the marrow extraction, while Cambria was under sedation, the oncologist and her colleague did a manual exam attempting to feel the tumor, and while knowing what they were looking for could barely find it.... AMEN
