Hi Everybody,
Well, I finished the additional rounds of chemotherapy and this week the doctors at Children's did a re-assessment. The news is not too good. They could not see any reduction in the size of the tumor from the last two rounds of chemo. They are now thinking that the tumor is becoming resistant to the chemo. All the doctors had a meeting about me on Wednesday, and my oncology doctor, Dr. Gardner also contacted the Mayo Clinic to get input from them on what they thought. All the doctors seem to be in agreement that the tumor must be removed, in spite the risks of damage to some of my organs.
An appointment is scheduled for next Tuesday, July 14th with the surgeon. This is when the surgeon will outline what he knows, and what are the exact risks based on the latest CT scans of the tumor. If mommy and daddy agree to the surgery, the date will then be set.
Mommy and Daddy are faced with some very hard decisions right now, and they need your prayers. The doctors did say that this will be a hard surgery to do, and it will be hard on my body. So I definitely need your prayers that, first, it is not as bad as it seems on the CT scans and the tumor can be removed easily, and second, I will astound them all, and recover quickly. The surgeon needs your prayers, that his hand will be steady, and his eyes will be sharp, his mind will be quick to recognize what is tumor and what is not, and he leaves no bad cells behind. Also pray that if there is another alternative that is safer and better, that God will quicken the doctors to that idea.
Love and kisses to you all,
Amelya
