Endless Hope | Team Devon

Hi All,

Sorry to keep you waiting. I got an email Wednesday from Devon's Neuro Onc. saying that the tumor is stable; Wooo Hooo! Her doctor thinks that it may have even shrunk a little, when compared to prior MRI, however pathology report called it stable.  The sign of it shrinking is great but we know that it is very difficult to measure at such level of detail; so we are still VERY happy that it is considered stable.  One more stable MRI and Devon may be off chemo. Although, if there is a sizable reduction in her next MRI, then she may be on Chemo until Nov 2010.

We were so delighted to hear the news, we shuffled them from Bookfair on Wednesday to swim practice yesterday so that Devon could do ~600 laps in the pool (which is crazy... but she is amazing, despite being on chemo and all the obstacles, she keeps going strong; God Bless Her). They were both very exhausted. It's like living in bits and pieces. Today we are taking it easy and letting the news finally sink in.

We have been so lucky (blessed?) that things are still going in the right direction for our child but many of our friends, in this community, are dealing with various issues surrounding this illness. So please send your prayers not only to Devon but also to our BT Friends and Families (Genna, Rosie, Lexie,Joseph, Brook, Lilly, Luke, Kira, Terry, Samantha, Kyle, Jaclyn, Emma, Jake, Brielle, Rafie and many more).

Thank you and have a wonderful, healthy and happy Holiday Season.

PS: Devon did get vaccinated for the H1N1 and so did we thanks to Dr. Friendler.

Take Care! Banu
