Most of you saw Shana's positive update yesterday, but we were still waiting on the results of the chest CT. Our oncologist called this morning to tell us that they had a chance to review the chest scan from yesterday and Madeline's lungs look great. No indications of spreading to her lungs which is a really big deal! All clear!!
We expected the scan results to be "all clear" since the MRI indicated that the tumor on her fibula reduced by such a large amount and there were no indications of spots in her lungs from the beginning. As faithful as we have been, I think we were just a little scared that they could have missed something when they initially scanned her chest at the very beginning of all of this... What a relief to hear the confirmation this morning. Thanks for all of the extra prayers this week! The next step is that we meet with the surgeon on Tuesday and talk about the surgery to remove the tumor and start planning/scheduling the details.
Madeline was feeling pretty good last night. Her leg has really felt much better for several weeks. No swelling or pain in her leg for some time now, which we hoped meant the chemo has been effective. Getting the confirmation yesterday was a little validation that all of her hard work with chemo over the last 10 weeks is paying off! To celebrate, Shana and Madeline went the The Sound of Music at Fair Park last night! They were so excited to get out and they had a great time! I'm so happy that my girls were able to have a girls night out!! 💛💛 I attached a pic. They swear that they were NOT trying to dress alike. There's enough difference to believe them, but I'm still skeptical... :-) They both looked great either way!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm pretty sure we will!
