Finally the results are back! The bone marrow biopsy showed NO detectable neuroblastoma!! They also had collected a urine sample to test for a certain bi-product of the tumor that was present at diagnosis, and found no trace of it today!! Which means the tumor is small enough now to not be secreating enough to detect. Which supports what the last CT scan showed a week ago--the tumor has shrunk after 2 cycles of Chemo to half of the original size. 13cm across on one measurement, down to 7cm! Overall a wonderful report...praise God! We press on with the same treatment plan, with renewed hope and enthusiasm that we are making real progress!
On the bowel obstruction front, we are off the suction and going to start at "trickle" of formula feeds today to see how it goes. We'll take it slow this weekend and see how it goes. But there is progress there as well! They will asses with an ultrasound on Monday and decide whether or not to start Round 3 on Tuesday. But he continues to act like he is much more comfortable, in a great mood. Telling the nurses he loves them and blowing them kisses. Turn it down a notch Drew! ;)
Have a wonderful weekend!!
