Best News Ever!!

Today Bobbi and Lance had a consult with the doctor to receive results of testing after her first 30 days of treatment. (phase 1) The doctor was so excited to meet with them! He said that he could not have hoped for better results! Scarlett has responded super well to this blast of drugs that were meant to basically put her in remission. Her blood tests were clear and so was her bone marrow! She is in remission! Yay for Scarlett - way to go, little girl! I was going to wait a few days and let Bobbi write this herself but I could not wait!!

There is still a journey ahead but this is wonderful news. We know that there are still cancer cells there. The test is such a small sample and we have a lot of cells. If treatment were to stop now, the cancer would most positively return. But the way she has responded to the treatment puts her into the LOW RISK category! This does not mean that she is in the clear. It means 2 and a half years of treatment and then testing up to 5 years. But it does mean that if she remains in remission till then it pretty much guarantees that the cancer will not return.

I believe that Bobbi said that her new treatment plan will start tomorrow and is pretty intense again for a bit. Bobbi can fill us in on more details as they learn more. They can expect that there may be unexpected hospital visits, maybe infections and possible concerns but still - super, duper positive news!! An extremely gratifying answer to fasting, prayers and a blessing. Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts and care.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BOBBI AND LANCE!!
