MRI results

Dr. Aguilera called me this evening with the results of Nolan's MRI.  Everything appears stable...phew! For those who don't know much about MRI's and brain tumors, Stable basically means no shrinkage and no growth.  We were really hoping to see some shrinkage of the tumors but she assured me everything looks good. We will keep on with the metronomic chemotherapy and do another MRI in 2 months.   Nolan has an appointment Friday for his chemo and she will go over more details with me about the MRI. If anything new comes up I will be sure to post it.

After the MRI we picked up Nolan's cool new "slime green" hearing aid molds.  His favorite color :-)

A quick prayer request, Dr. Aguilera asked if I would allow Nolan's tumor tissue to be sent to St. Jude's and tested to see if he has the sonic hedgehog pathway.  If Nolan has the pathway, it would give us more hope for a cure.  Please, please, please be in prayer that he has this pathway.  We don't have a lot of options to fall back on.

If you could please help us with our Cure Childhood cancer fund raiser. If everyone could just donate $5 it could make a big difference in a lot of little children's lives. Here's a few statistics...
