Hip Hip Hurray!!! Kaelyn is still cancer free! We braved the snow storm that we had here and went into to Children's for her scan (I still have that Utah blood flowing through me - bring on the snow!). It went wonderfully well. She did not need anestesia which makes it so much easier on her. She is such a big girl. Her oncologist, Dr. Thomson was very pleased with the results. There are three areas in her lungs that they have been watching and all of them are either smaller or unchanged with means that they are scar tissue of some kind. Dr. Thomson also said that the greatest chance of recurrence is within the first year post chemo. And Kaelyn has just past her year mark with no sign of recurrence! There is always a chance of recurrence with Hepatoblastoma, but atleast it is less. I am just bursting! It is really very exciting. She only has to go get CT Scans every six months now and AFP's drawn every three (unless there are liver issues).
I love posting good news! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, we sure did.
Love,
Angie

Woo-hoo! I was so happy to read your post. Cancer-free...still!!
Our news this morning was talking about snow-storms in Washington, and I thought of you guys. I actually think about you all the time. I'm glad things are going so well. Hopefully we can all meet sometime this next year.
