Brynlee's cancer has relapsed. At this point, it looks like it is just her main tumor that has started to grow again. The two spots in her liver were maybe a little bit more pronounced, but they weren't necessarily larger.
I have no words. It almost makes it a little bit worse having been through this before because we know how crappy it is, and I am not looking forward to going through it again.
We don't have an exact plan yet. They told us 2 to 6 rounds of chemo and most likely she will take Accutane after the chemo is finished for six months. They have to talk to the surgeon to see if he thinks he can biopsy the tumor again without putting her at significant risk and then we will get her line put back in and a bone marrow aspirate and will likely start chemo next week.
She still has a really good prognosis at this point and unless the biopsy shows anything different she will still be considered intermediate-risk neuroblastoma.
Here we go again...

ReplyDeleteOh Stephanie! It sounds so trite, but I am so sorry for you and your sweet little girl. It just doesn't seem fair for one so young to have to go through so much. She must be a very special spirit of or Heavenly Father! Thoughts and prayers are with you. If you ever need me to pick up Katelyn or Marissa from school or anything. Let me know.
