Portland!!

Hi All!!

Wow, are we beat! Long drive up here and then tests all day yesterday and then blood and doctor visit today. You can't help being a little worried. That doubt I can't just get rid of. I talked to Jess about it and she felt the same. Tests went okay but it was just a long day. We finally got back to the hotel around 8:30 last night. We asked yesterday for the cd's of all of her scans and tests so we had to pick them up today too. There ended up being 7 of them and like 14 pages of written ones. It was interesting to read but also a little nerve racking I feel to read this stuff about your daughter.... The Portland doctor wanted us to get these for the doctors down in Medford. We also had brought up all the chemo and blood tests from Medford and gave them to him. He seemed really excited to have them.. lol Well she is still in remission!! We were really happy to hear it again. We were hoping for no chemo but we knew from before that she was going to have to have a total of 2 years of it. It was cute cause he was worried about Jess hearing this and she basically already knew it. Sooo.. she has to have chemo until November of 2011. They said that because she had had so much cancer in her that that was the reason why and we totally understand. We don't want it coming back. If she would of only had cancer in one spot that she would be done but since she didn't that is why. But he said that it will be lower doses so that she will hopefully be able to live a basically normal life. But it is still spinals, pills and IV pushes so still a little of everything. He said that she could take a couple of weeks off but that was about it. He doesn't want anything to go wrong. He talked all of this over with a pediatrician so it is nice to know that it isn't just his decision. Well I'm off for now. Im so tired all over.. lol If I think of anything else I will tell you all tomorrow. If you guys want to know anything drop me a line. Thanks for keeping her in your prayers. Love you all, Cindi
