Zaida (ZAY-da) turned 3 in September. We learned she has cancer on Halloween, after six very emotional days in the hospital. Two days later we learned it was ovarian/peritoneal cancer, and no other children are known to have ever had this. We are in uncharted territory, filled with unknowns.

I talked with Dr. Hayes-Jordan's physician assistant today, and they don't have the imaging from Zaida's MRI yet (from July 9th). They only have the written report, which she said was not clear and they cannot draw any conclusions until they see the images. This was the one month post-surgery MRI and there could still be inflammation, and they don't put a lot of weight on the 1-month scan. Next week they should have the images and Dr. Hayes-Jordan will study them and we'll see what she thinks. She said to hold judgment until we hear what the surgeon thinks. So, this is a little comforting, anyway.
