Treatment no. 6

Morgan began treatment no. 6 today at 12:10. She will have a 5 hour treatment for the next 5 days and on day 6 she will have fluids. At the end of day 6, which will be Monday, she should be discharged.

I spoke with the oncologist this morning and he told Morgan & I that he felt like 6 treatments was a good stopping point. He said there is no conclusive evidence that doing more than 6 treatments has any benefits. At this time, there are no new growths and the very small nodule on her left lung is stable suggesting that it is not tumor. She will have another CT scan on Dec. 1.

Please pray that Morgan remains cancer free. To be honest, I am very nervous about being off treatment. Don't misunderstand, I am glad to see it come to an end. I just don't want to see cancer rear its ugly head again. Morgan has been through so much. She has been so brave. On days when most people would be in tears, she has kept fighting. Words can not express how proud I am of her.

During Morgan's last chemo treatment she spent her time searching for a dog to rescue. Her cousin Katie had recently rescued a dog so Morgan thought she should look around to find a buddy for Max. She began searching on PetFinder.com and that is where she came across Gracie. Gracie is a yorkie/bichon mix and is 9 weeks old. So Morgan will be busy not only with school but also training her new puppy. As far as being a buddy for Max, well...........Max is ignoring her. He seems a bit confused. If he could talk, he would probably say... "what were you people thinking!!".
