Finally, after days, hours, minutes we heard back. Dr. Morgan, Aidan's Oncologist, called late this afternoon. She explained that while they couldn't do a thorough study of their own, what they were able to see convinces them that Aidan is fine. There are too many missing pieces for them to think that he has relapsed. The pictures they were able to see were deemed "unremarkable". This is my new word of the week. Since blood, urine, and his overall health are perfect, we are going to consider this just a "blip" on the radar. We will pursue this scan in 3 months at Children's. I have already called my insurance to get the ball rolling.
We feel a sense of relief, but still wish they could have completed their own case study. We have full confidence in Dr. Morgan, as she is a straight-shooter and is very conservative. She assured us that if she thought this was something more, we would be in doing every test under the sun. So, we are back to our normal 3 month check up in August. September we'll try this scan garbage again.
Thank you to our dear friends who have prayed for us, sent us good vibes, and heck, even bought us groceries (thanks, Shawn). How blessed we are to have so many friends and family that love us and our sweet boy. Tonight we went to Moe's, our favorite local hot spot for dinner to celebrate. Even though Aidan has no idea what we've been through these past few days, he was very happy this evening. Give your kids an extra hug tonight-we sure will.

Carrie,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that things came back to give you some peace of mind. Tell everyone hi! I am still working to get a day where all the kids can come swimming and hang out. I will run some dates by you and Randy soon!
