Good News!

We were going to wait until Monday to share this info because we had only half of the test results but we know a lot of good people have been curious as to what today’s results showed so here goes…

Today we received the WONDERFUL news from the MRI that Bree’s tumor has shrunk significantly! The chemo is definitely doing its job! The doctor told us it was better than he expected. The tumor is still there but it has shrunk down enough to entertain the idea of doing surgery to remove the tumor. Because of where it is in her body, it might be too difficult to remove (it’s located in between vital organs) but at least we get to have the conversation☺. We will meet with the surgeons next week to determine if surgery is something that we can do. If it can’t be surgically removed then they will do 4 more rounds of chemo. We are still waiting on the bone marrow results as well. These should come back Monday. Fortunately it does look like the areas where it metastasized originally are no longer there…her liver, spleen, bones, right kidney and right adrenal glad. These areas look like they are clean of the tumor…Yea! It still shows up over the left adrenal gland (this is where the tumor started to grow originally). We are waiting to get all the test results so we can meet with her oncologists and determine what the best plan of action will be. But we thought we would share with you some great news.

The bottom line… we are so happy and thrilled to know that her body has responded to the chemotherapy treatments and that she exceeded the doctors’ expectations at this point in her treatment…that’s our Breezy☺. We should know Monday what our next steps would be. In the meantime, we are so thankful to our family, friends, neighbors and strangers from all over that have prayed for Bree. It is truly humbling to feel of the love of so many people. Above all we are grateful to the Lord for blessing Bree and being with our family every step of the way. Today we truly felt blessed!
