MRI results

The tumor is bigger

Chemo has been canceled for now, as it didn't help.

We're waiting to hear about next steps. Our doctor is waiting to hear back from a doctor in LA that specializes in experimental neuroblastoma treatments. If we qualify for their treatment, we may be going to LA. Our doctor is also scheduling a consult with the radiation doctors at UCSD. We don't know if radiation will be the next step, but she would like to have the consult anyway.

That's all I know so far.

I'm not sure what to say that would make you feel better, but I want you to know I'm here thinking and praying. I'm remaining hopeful that there are treatments to help her beat this. Radiation helped me and so many others.

((Hugs))

I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you and Madeleine. I have no words right now as I'm sure there is nothing that will make you feel any better.

I'm angry with you.

Amber, Ryan & Madeleine, I'm praying earnestly & hopefully that the doctors will find a way to provide the ultimate treatment to destroy the tumor. Your bravery and courage are genuinely admirable and I ask in prayer that you will receive all the strength and comfort you need.
I'm thinking about you and praying for you. God Bless you - With Love, Connie (friend of Madge and your family.)
