We have reached a HUGE milestone in regards to Victoria's health. She had her two year off treatment scan yesterday at Phoenix Children's Hospital. We just received the fantastic news that the scan came back "NED" - meaning no evidence of disease!!

Now that she is two years off treatment, her risk for relapse goes down to 5% ( we all know that she is not going to relapse anyway). Instead of going to the oncologist every 3 months for a ct scan, she will be going every six months and will be monitored by an x ray of her lungs and an ultrasound of her belly. We happily said "good bye and see you NEVER" to the ct machine. All of her scans for the past two and a half years have been done in the same room that I was told of her diagnosis. I could help but remember how sad and scared I felt that day in this same room that I stand in now feeling hopeful and happy.
What a great way to start the summer!!!
Love, Pam and Larry
