Dana's MRI results

Great news! None of the removed tumor has grown back! There was some of the original tumor that couldnt be removed when they did the biopsy because it was intertwined with her brain in places that control her memory and function. As Dana pointed out, you cant see everything that is or is not there so as a precaution she will continue with Chemo 5 days a month for 6 months to try and kill what they cant see and hopefully prevent anything new from growing. She will have more MRI's along the way to make sure there arent any negative changes. Its a big relief to know that the tumor didnt grow back. Five days of chemo a month is better than 5 days a week! Thank you for all that sent kind thoughts into the universe!

Think shrinking thoughts!

If you've been following this blog, Dana's Facebook page or just communicating regularly with Dana you probably know that Dana has finished her chemotherapy and radiation treatments for the moment. Its hard to keep track of people sometimes which is the reason for this blog; to keep everyone in the loop. It definitely scary for someone close to you to be in this situation and you worry about how shes doing but cant call her every second so I feel when i have any new information it doesnt hurt to pass it on to all the people that love her and wish her the best. I saw Dana today she looks strong and is still toughing out her job. She told me that she goes for her MRI on June 14th. This MRI is very important because since the therapies are over we need to know if the tumor has finally given up or if its growing back. Lets all hope that Dana's tumor has not grown at all and that her need for more chemo and or radiation is over. There is always the possibility for the worst but in that case she already has a plan of action which just means more therapy for a longer amount of time. Dana deserves a break, so please send out kind loving thoughts or prayers that no more treatment is needed.
