Journal entry by Sarah Burke —
We wanted to drop in and give you guys an update on Allison’s progress. She is a little over 12 weeks post treatment and had her scans last week. The great news is the scans showed no evidence of metastasis. The scans showed some activity on her tongue. The doctors think this is due to continued healing in the area but she will repeat the scans in 3 months to be sure. She had to have her feeding tube replaced last week but she’s working towards weaning off of it. She’s able to eat smoothies and pudding, etc reasonably well and is working on increasing the solid soft foods she’s able to consume. Her speech continues to progress and her energy levels are increasing. She still has to rest often and listen to her body but she has been enjoying the ability to do some light exercise.
We are continually thankful for your support and friendship. We hope you have a great holiday and we’ll update you all in the new year, once she repeats her scans.
