THE RESULTS

Finally, finally, finally on Tuesday morning, the morning after we were admitted post-ER visit, we received the results of the biopsy.

Our surgeon, who I am now able to speak with without blacking out, came in and said that she does in fact have a Wilms Tumor. Which is "best case scenario" in the world of child cancers.

He said we would be meeting with our new oncology team the following morning and they will give us a plan for treatment.

Hearing your child has cancer is quite possibly one of the worst things you will ever hear in your life, but, the silver lining is that her cancer has a good prognosis. We just have to commit to the treatment plan and it is going to be a marathon.

Her plan includes 28 weeks of chemotherapy. After 6 treatments, she will go through extensive imaging to see if the tumor shrunk enough to remove. Her surgery is scheduled for June 22, as of now. That will be followed by a week of radiation treatments, then chemo will resume weekly until Thanksgiving (at earliest) to ensure all of the cancer has been eliminated from her body.
