For my friend's daughter, my son's little buddy. She is just over 2 and has just finished her treatment for a brain tumor. This week she has her first post-chemo MRI. Please send all the dust and prayers you can muster for a clean scan!
Thank you every one. Pandora I do not know what type of tumor it was. Though I spend a fair amount of time with her mom, that is a detail I have not asked. All I know is the tumor was very large, required surgery to remove, and is not the "best" nor the "worst" type of cancer for a child to have. The baby has made it through intense chemo very very well. I just hope with all my heart that it worked (her mid-treatment MRI was clear). The last 6 months have just been a nightmare for my friend, and god I hope these results are good.
Oh wow! Much dust that all goes well. I hate hearing stories of sick kids, I work with dying adults bc I can't handle sick children. Hugs for hunter, too. It isn't easy for kids to grasp that their little friends aren't well.
I know, I cannot even imagine the relief that her mom must be feeling right now. I mean, she is not out of the woods, but I know this was a huge hurdle that was looming. I think there are probably a good number of kids where the chemo just doesn't work and they have an early recurrance, and that cannot be a good sign I am so happy for this good result!
