Good luck bears

Shania had her first radiation treatment today at Princess Margaret Hospital just across the street from Sick Children's Hospital. Dr Hodgson Shania's radiation Oncologist has narrowed down the spot to her lower left pelvis at the back. They treated this and her primary location, being where her Adrenal gland was. Shania and Karen were at the Hospital for Sick Children getting a drink in Shoppers Drug Mart before her treatment, Karen had a Toonie out, and Shania noticed that the Toonie had three bears on it, she said that it is good luck. So karen most definitely kept that one and Shania can put this one in her coin collection, we will take all the good luck we can get right now! Everything went quite well for her first treatment, with it being on the pelvis instead of her upper leg, this won't effect the growth in the leg which was great news to find out! We would like to thank Camp Quality, the camp for cancer kids for inviting us out to there reunion in Niagara Falls this last weekend. We sure did need that time away, The girls had a great time as did Karen and I, it definitely recharged our batteries. And thank you to Dr Baruchel for saying yes to this weekend away.
Sincerely,
Shanye,Karen,Shania&Shannon.
