Though Angie’s scans were all-clear, the oncologist informed us today that after consulting with the surgeon and the other oncologists, they want to do two more rounds of chemo. The doctors said this was standard treatment for this type of more rare and aggressive cancer to really make sure they get it all.

In the very beginning we were told that treatment would consist of 4-6 rounds of chemo, and possibly radiation. Then when it came time to get started we were told 4 rounds of chemo and 28 days of radiation. It's a little disappointing that it had not been made more clear that the chemo could possibly be extended to 6 rounds, but we didn’t learn until yesterday that it would definitely be the next step in her treatment. Part of this decision was how well she made it through the first 4 rounds. She will start this round (her fifth) of chemo on Monday morning.

While this is certainly frustrating news, we’re staying focused on the fact that the scans were clear and staying strong for this last bit of the fight. Thank you to everyone for your love and support.
