Another MRI

Rachel had another MRI over a week ago. The results are the same as usual- no new growth. :) Because Rachel is doing so well nobody is sure what step to take next. The oncologists have differing opinions so we are going to Houston on the 19th to meet with a team of doctors there. All of them agree on postponing the radiation because there is no need to rush it but nobody can agree on what to do in the meantime. I think that she's going to get some more chemo. :( The chemo that she's on is recommended for 10 doses, which she's had, but can be given safely for up to 14 . That buys us 4 more months with something we know works. We'll see what they say in Houston. We're thrilled and the doctors are too that she's doing so well but that actually is making her harder to treat because nobody wants to rush curing her because it doesn't seem to bother her to live with cancer. I'll post an update after this week's visit.
