Treatment has changed once again

I am very tired, so I hope this update makes sense. Nina saw the neurosurgeon today. I am very pleased to say the MRI showed no tumors in the spine. The treatment plan has changed though. A more aggressive chemo will be used to treat the tumor. Nina will have a port surgically implanted in her chest to administer her chemo drugs. She will go to the oncologist's office once a week and they will insert a iv in to the port and administer the medication. The side effects can be severe (ie hair loss, vomiting, fatigue, etc.). I would also like to give a very special thank you to Quincy Koffel for the very generous package of gifts sent to Nina (and a few for me too). After hearing the treatment plan today (hard for Nina to hear), this package gave Nina a huge boost of happiness and determination to over come her illness. I would like to also say thank you to our many monetary donors to date. Your generosity and kindness are very much needed and appreciated.
