Three Month Scans Are CLEAR
Rebekah's scans are CLEAR! No signs of cancer. They did show some sinusitis, so the doctor gave us a prescription for an antibiotic for that. I expect that will be an ongoing issue for Miss Rebekah. The radiation has done its damage. But, it can be treated and we can be thankful for that.
We asked the doctor about whether we should expect her hair to come in on the left side "later" or would we have seen it by now? She said it will probably be difficult for it to come in, so her hair will likely be much thinner on that side, but the comb over look just might work. Pretty much what we figured. There are worse things!
She seems to have sprouted up a bit in height 104.5 cm now and the last heights I can recall from during treatment were just over 103 cm. Her weight is just about the same - a little bit lighter from not having much pediasure over the weekend (with the anesthesia and potential nausea and just having too many fun things to do instead of sitting and getting some nutrition).
Unless we think Rebekah needs seen, our next round of scans will be August and next appointment with Oncology will be then as well. So, I guess we get to breathe a little easier for a few months.
All in all, a good day.
After our clinic appointment, we went in search of Josh and his family. We knew they were probably hanging out somewhere, since they had a procedure in the morning and clinic appointment in the afternoon. We found them, just where we expected - the Star Lounge. It was good to chat for a bit with them.
Currently, the girls are napping and later we will head to Rebekah's Horse Riding Therapy. I think she will enjoy it. We'll have to wait and see, but not too long...
Thanks for checking in.
