Test time again

Shania goes back to Sickkids for lots of post Bone Marrow Transplant tests this week. Monday she will get a GFR(Kidney test), Echo(Heart test). Tuesday CT(cat scan for cancer), Bone Scan(for cancer lesions), and blood work to see where her counts are. Wednesday Physio. Thursday Audio(to see if she has lost any hearing from the chemo), MIBG injection(Radioactive fluid to illuminate any cancer during the MIBG scan) this is the test that lets us know that Shania was cancer free before her Bone Marrow transplant! Friday MIBG Scan(Please be clear!!!!), and finally her Pulmonary(lung capacity)test. And also a Bone Marrow Aspirate and Bone Biopsy on Febuary first. So Shania will have a busy week coming up, she will get these test every three months after that. Shania won't be declared cured of this cancer until after five years. Stage 4 Neuroblastoma is a hard cancer to keep gone, so every three months we'll be on the edge of our seats. This life lesson for us is to live each day to the fullest and don't hold anything for later! We brought all our camping gear in from the garage and cleaned it up. Shania and Shannon wanted to set up the tent down stairs, so thats just what we did. You don't realize how big a tent is until you set it up in your house, but we had fun doing it. We hope to camp our way out east, and visit Shania and shans Great Aunt Sandy in Nova Scotia. She was diagnosed with liver cancer just recently and it seems to have Metastisized to her Bile ducts. This was after surviving Breast cancer a couple years ago and skin cancer just last year. She does a family news letter to keep everyone in touch with each other. Almost every week she would send us a card of support and love to help us get through these last eight months of treatment. Words can not say how much we appreciated your kindness and support. We love you Aunt Sandy and our hearts are with you, we hope that you and Shania are well Enough for a visit this summer.
sincerely
Shayne,Karen,Shania&Shannon.
