Scott surprised us and came to shingle the roof, in the rain, today!

In other news....
It turns out Ally's course of treatment is about to change. A little over a month ago I was talking with Ally's oncologist. We were talking about how well Ally is responding to the chemo and how it has shrunk her tumor. She brought up "the next step". If you have a good memory, read old posts once in a while, or just remember key events you may be thinking, "off to Boston". Well, things have changed. We are actually headed to New York City! This is the antibody treatment we have heard a little bit about. This treatment works best when there is very little disease, and Ally fits into that category now. We know very little about the whole treatment other than it is a 2 week course, that is about 3 hours a day. We will be staying at the Ronald McDonald house in NYC during those 2 weeks. Next week the 3 of us are headed to NYC for some preliminary tests and to have a face to face with the doctors. We expect to get lots more info then, such as when her first 2 week treatment will be. For now here is a link that explains what we are headed for. This is literally ALL we know about this treatment at this point. http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/3215.cfm
We are excited about this next step and are willing to take advice about fun things to see/do in NYC with an immuno suppressed kid and no car!
