Final Tests This Week

Rach had her follow up tests  this week.... on Monday she had a "Muga" test which looks at her heart function. This was especially worrisome during the final weeks of her chemo when her heart rate became high during rest and extremely high during activity. We are hoping that was just a side effect and  that her heart function returned to normal.

On Wednesday she had another "PET" scan which is a radio active dye test to look for deformed cells in her body. This is the test that actually "finds" suspect cancer cells. In August it showed her cancer in two areas.... In December following her chemo it showed those cells were gone. We are hoping that will be the results again.

We meet with the oncologist next week to discuss the results....  We are praying that this is over and we'll move on!

Rach continues with school and has increased her hours working in the Emergency Room at the Girard Hospital. You wouldn't know we've been through all of this by watching her....

Again... your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated!
