AMAZING!!!

Hi all

I have titled this blog update - Amazing, for that is what explains what our surgeon believes he can do...Let me explain to you firstly the size of the leisions (yeap not even big enough to be declared tumours)

Number One
Beginning size -
12mm by 16mm by 25mm
Last weeks size -
10mm by 13mm by 16mm
Number Two
Beginning size -
24mm by 18mm
Last weeks size -
20mm by 16mm by 18mm
Number Three -
Beginning size -
12mm by 8mm by 25mm
Last weeks size -
9mm by 6mm by 11mm
Number Four -
Beginning size -
11mm by 7.5mm by 25mm
Last weeks size -
9mm by 5mm by 23mm

Yes I have not made spelling mistake we are talking mm's, grab a ruler and just check out how small they now are. The four leisions are spread across her abdomen . Today we had a meeting with our oncologist who explained the reductions in the leisions, and that we had an appt to see our surgeon next week (Tuesday) to discuss surgery. The only downside (though not really as it means we can all celebrate Kody's 10th birthday together on the 30th of September), is that Immies surgery may not be able to be fitted in till first week of October. If this is the delay then our oncologist will decide whether maybe another cycle of chemo should be done, prior to surgery.

Of course as soon as we have the surgery dates the mega therapy and stem cell rescue can be dated and a rough time can be give of when it will begin. Next Tuesday when we meet with the surgeon it will all be much clearer (at least we hope).

Immies MIBG scan was a breeze, Jas reckons its because he was there and he is our lucky charm...I think he may be right...

Thanks for all the positive thoughts, prayers and vibes
Love the Holmes Gang
