We just found out there is a greater than 50% reduction in the tumor burden on Hans' skull.
There is still disease present and signs of increased pressure on the brain, so our docs have agreed it does make sense for the radiation to continue. We get today off but will start back up tomorrow. Like I said, we have to be at CHLA all next week for Inrino/Temodor anyway.
I just found out we'll do a total of 8 more sessions for a total of 20 radiation sessions. Looks like we'll be in LA all next week, and then finish up Radiation the Tues/Weds after Labor Day.
They may want to do a blood flow study, or an MRV in addition. We are just hanging in there while we let the docs get down to the bottom of our boy! Just praying we are all lead to the most effective, least harmful treatments for him at this time! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers as well.
