Results of the scan

Hey everyone

We got the results back from Elsa's scan today. I honestly was convinced that we were going to get bad news. I was just really tired of everyone saying that prayer and well wishes would bring us the answers that we were hoping for. 

Anyways.... we did end up getting good news!! Elsa still has the tumor that the doctors saw in the last scan (about the size of a marble), but it hasn't grown or changed at all from last time. This is good news because it means that the tumor isn't active, or could even be just calcified tissue. WOO HOO. The doctors plan on doing another scan on May 17th, a PET CT scan, of her whole body to see the metabolic activity. She will have to be sedated for that scan, but you gotta do what you gotta do. If that scan shows that the current tumor is inactive and she has no new growths, she will then be declared as in remission. In the mean time we are making arrangements for Elsa's central line to be taken out :) That will be a very exciting day, but it will be a major surgery.

Very exciting news. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'll let you know if anything new comes up with elsa, but I am not really planning on making regular posts. 

Alright Peace
