Findings: No clinical evidence of ANY metastatic disease is present. This includes, lungs, mediastinum, liver....everywhere!
She is officially in complete remission! After 5 years in remission, she will be considered cured!
Keep them prayers coming for her!
Dr. Madden will be keeping a very close eye on her, appointments every month and very frequent CT scans. We asked about prophalactic chemo treatments and unfortunately there are no chemo's developed for maintanance of this type of cancer. Dr. Madden is very pleased with how well she has responded to chemo and appears very optimistic. He told mom that she needs to live each day like she was given a second chance at life. He mentioned that there is only a handful of people with this type of cancer that he gets the opportunity to give such good news to.
I think we can all agree that this is nothing short of a miracle....looking back at where she was at her first doctors appointment on October 28th, to where she is today...only 4 months later. Amazing!
Here is a picture of mom and me on the way home from the doctors appointment.
