and the doctor says........

Hi everyone!!
My doctor told us that she wants to do some more biopsies and pictures before any decisions are made about surgery on the tumor that is left inside. She was concerned that it might still be active but have a shell around it of dead cancer cells and just wants to be positive before she lets this stay inside of me. She does not want to take chances with this last piece and mommy and daddy agree because if this were to grow, my chances of winning the battle are drastically cut. So we are back on the harder chemotherapy for a month and then I get to take new pictures and then I get presented again to the tumor board where they will make a new battle plan for me. Please pray that I make it through this next chemotherapy with little or no side effects and that God continue to work miracles in me. I thank him every night in my prayers and also all of you who are praying for me.
Hugs and kisses,
Amelya

update

Hello everyone, this is Amanda aka mommie, I have struggled for days on how to put into words what happened at St. Jude's; the important part is that Amelya's PET Scan came back cold basically put Amelya is cancer free. She does although still have a mass in her pelvis that is the size of a golf ball. The mass is still attached or butted up to her rectum and involves her ureter in some manner that the surgeon says requires a MRI to better see. Larry and I have a decision to make that we are waiting until we speak with Amelya's oncologist before making; we had hoped to talk to her before making this post but we still have not done so. But for the time being we are going to do more chemotherapy and give it and the radiation more time to get rid of this mass before we make a final decision on the removal of the mass. Amelya will be going back to St. Jude's in late January or February for a new scan and visit with the surgeon there following her case. Please continue to pray for Amelya and our family so we can have clear minds and can make our decision the most informed and with divine guidance so that we make the best decision for Amelya. Please continue to pray for Amelya that her body can hold up to this stronger chemotherapy and her recovery from its side effects is quicken.
With love and thanks for support,
Amanda
