Good News! The tumor appears to be even smaller today! The technician and Ally's oncologist were comparing today's scan with the one taken in February and they saw a major difference. I reported in the past that the lesions on Ally's legs have gone away (meaning the cancer has left the bones), but her legs still needed to heal. It is hard to tell bone stuff from a CT scan, but from what they could tell, her legs are healing as well.

Yeah for awesome news! Thanks for thinking of us all day. It was actually one of the smoothest running days ever. We got her contrast dye around 9:30, and had 3 hours to get 12 ounces in her (which is a LOT of intake for Ally). While we were walking in the hall we met Ally's oncologist and she was SUPER nice to walk the length of the hospital with us to unlock the playroom in the cancer clinic. There, Ally happily played until it was time to head to "Pain Free" where she went to sleep for her scan. She was back within 30 minutes and we were out of there 30 minutes later! She almost fell asleep on the ride home too.

Relief.

Fun Tid Bit: Ally went apple picking 2 times in the past week.

We (Ally and Mommy) are headed to the hospital tomorrow for a CT scan.

I'll be sure to update as soon as we know something!
