Nina's progress

Nina is doing very well. She is hanging in there like the trooper that she is! She had blood work done on Friday. Every thing looked great. She had the blood work done local, so this was the first Friday since January 5th that hse did not have to go to CHOC Cancer Institute. Provided all goes well this coming week, she will do blood work local again and not have to go in to the doctors until the following Friday. What a nice break! Her memory continues to improve. Nina will have her three month MRI on March 12th. She will then go directly to the neurosurgeons office to have her shunts adjusted and review the MRI. I am most comfortable with her neurosurgeon reading the MRI (rather than the oncologist). I will be very happy if it reads "no growth". I am not sure how long it may be before we might see shrinkage of the tumor. Amber (Nina's older sister) had a MRI done due to headaches. I am happy to say it was clear. I know that this is a huge relief to Amber. She saw her sister go through so much and it scared her.
