All as Expected

Drew's eye exam went well yesterday and everything was as expected. No new tumor growth and the tumors that he did have, are dead. Now that the chemo is pretty much out of his system, we will have our true test. We told Dr. Christiansen that we were apprehensive about the news given that it came back before. He told us that Drew is older and that this disease will shut down, it's only a matter of time (and our window is shrinking). He felt that eventhough this reoccurred in Drew, he was pretty opptomistic that this was the end of our journey. We were excited to hear that but still would like to get to next summer with no changes prior to being more comfortable.

We're already hoping for an early X-mas present. I am confident in speaking for Heidi in saying, that's all we want this year. Last year before x-mas we found the new tumor that forced us to repeat Chemo. We'll have to wait until December 5th, since that is his next exam with an MRI. In the mean time, we'll enjoy our time as a family with Jack's B-day, Halloween (I'm sure we'll post pictures), Thanksgiving, X-mas shopping & everything in between.

While we get a little break, please keep all the other kids dealing with cancer in your thoughts an prayers. While we get time to concentrate on family, there are many others that don't.
