Hello to all: I just wanted to let everyone know about little Bethany's MRI & her prognosis. They put her to sleep while doing the MRI last week & she came through all the testing with flying colors.
She has a tumor about the size of a half of Dollar smack dab in the midst of the optical nerves and cannot be operated on as it is entangled with those nerves. The doctor said that this a fairly common turmor in children her age and can be treated rounds of chemotherapy during the next twelve to eighteen months. If the treatment is successful........the tumor should not come back. They are awaiting the surgeon now to schedule a date he can put the port in for the chemo..........the family wanted to sort of skip this week as her fifth birthday is today. So, I am sure it will probably be sometime next week when they will get started. Please, still keep praying for her and her family........it will be about an 85 mile one way trip to the hospital and back when they begin these treatments. It is a wonderful hospital for children, so she will be in good hands, but it will be tough financially on her family, I'm sure. Keep looking Up, Suzieq --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
