Sierra finished her chemotherapy like a champ. She didn't clear it from her system as quickly as we had expected, but that just meant a few more nights in the hospital to see her wonderful nurses:)
This weekend she had all of her post-treatment scans done. She had a chest CT, Pet-CT scan, Bonescan, X-rays, and Echo. We don't have all of the results back, but from just the CT scans the doctors can see growth in the one larger spot in her lung. All of the other little spots are still there, but haven't changed. We had hoped that they would all disappear, and that we wouldn't have to worry about a lung surgery, but we knew it was most likely going to happen. AT this point, Sierra will likely have a lung surgery in the next few weeks to remove at least the one larger spot. Once we meet with the surgeon I will know more, but the consensus of all the osteo parents I have asked is that getting any spots out of the lungs is the best plan of action. We are very hopeful that removing any spots from Sierra's lungs will be the end of her treatment and that she will not have any relapses. Please continue prayers, that Sierra will not be anxious about this upcoming surgery and that she will heal quickly, and that she will be done with this awful disease for good.
