We reviewed the final results with Dr. Rood yesterday. The preliminary results were confirmed - the cancer has retreated and cannot be seen. Mason still has the spot on his lung, which was originally found when he had the MRI after the tumor resection. The spot is not cancer, but may be from an infection he may have had some time in the past. It is about 9 millimeters across. It may have grown by a millimeter or so since the last MRI, so they are looking at it closely. If it has grown due to him being immunosupressed, it may mean that it is an active infection, in which case it will need to be taken care of before he gets any more chemo. If it is determined that it has not grown then it is probably just something left over from the past, and the 4th round of chemo will proceed next week. They are making the determination this morning.
So the final results were great! Dr. Rood confirmed that they are "optimal".
Mason has his first day of class at his new school today - just happens to be a field trip! Tomorrow he has his first soccer game. We will try to put some video on youtube.com. Look for the URL here on Sunday or Monday.
