Recent NIH Visit

Missy and Mom went back up to the NIH last week for a follow up MRI. On the plane from here to the DC airport they realized they were traveling with a celebrity!

John Wall had been back in town to play an exhibition game and was flying back to DC at the same time as Missy and Mom. It makes any trip more enjoyable to see someone famous at six in the morning!

The visit to NIH went very well. The MRI showed that the tumor had no change, so the treatments are working well to prevent new growth. They are making so changes to her medications, taking her off one for the next eight weeks to see what the effect is, but all in all things are going very well and Missy is doing great!

Thank you all for your continued support. We appreciate you all so very much.

I am a lurker here, but do post very infrequently over at Bio-girl.

So pleased to hear that you had a positive check up--they can be stressful. My daughter was diagnosed with a primary liver tumor (hepatoblastoma) at 22 months and a second, unrelated bone tumor at 15. She is entering her second year of university next month and has been in remission for almost five years!
You are fortunate to have such a loving, caring family-and a cute nephew and niece-to support you. Many blessings.
