Some pictures from grandma... and Round 5...

Here are some super cute pictures of Molly.  This is before chemo with all of her hair.  I forgot how much she had!




And then here is a picture from the other day, all happy!


Isn't she cute?

Molly had her EUA yesterday by Dr. Carol Shields.  They said she is doing great. Everything is going like it should.  The tumors didn't really shrink a whole lot more, but they are still calcifying.  We were told that with this kind of cancer, they watch it very closely after chemo is done, because there is a 10-15% chance the main tumors can come back and a 40-50% chance for a new tiny tumor to pop up. Dr. Shields said that small amounts of reoccurance are pretty typical, and aren't as big of a concern as other types of cancer.  They pretty much expect that something will pop up.  If and when it does, they will use cryotherapy and freeze it, and it's done.  So, they will watch her closely for 3 years.  She had chemo yesterday afternoon, and is having it now. Round 5 is almost complete! Then tomorrow back on the plane home.
