Are we really done???!!!

Visited with Dr. Woo today and he informed me that Rachel will get her last radiation treatment on Thursday. It was a complete surprise to me because last week he told me he felt like he had to keep going as planned. He said that he has studied her scans over and over and he's torn about what to do. (This was not very comforting to hear!) He feels like she may not need as much radiation as her scans tell him she needs. Her kind of cancer is suppose to be aggressive and hard to control but in Rachel it has grown slowly and been under control for 2 years. He said that he decided to look at the whole picture and give Rachel a chance at less radiation and damage because she has done so well. He thinks that her cancer might be taken care of but doesn't know for sure. If he gives her brain heavier doses of radiation at this point, he will cause her severe cognitive damage and he wants to save her from that. As of Thursday, she will no longer get chemo or radiation. We just watch and wait to see if anything happens for the next year. That's the plan from the top dogs of cancer care??!! I'm excited and scared at this point. We are hopeful that it's all been taken care of but only time will tell. I guess this is all good news just trying to wrap my mind around it. Thanks everyone for the prayers- they're obviously working! Please keep it up and pray that this can all be behind her and she can be a normal healthy kid! :)
