October 15th

Claire received round #5 as scheduled on Monday. The visit with Dr. Jonathan Finlay on Friday at Oakland Children's Hospital provided very good information and a strong argument for stopping maintenance chemo therapy. It is a very scary and anxious time as we debate what is the best choice for Claire and the healing of her body. Chemo therapy is a toxic process and there many complications that occur when given in the doses Claire has been given. There is a point that the risk is more than the reward. She continues to be the fighter and we continue to be amazed at how she handles adversity. Shannon and I will be meeting with the Sutter team on October 23rd and will make a decision at that point.

I am Sorry to be short on info but will give more details soon.


Thanks for your continued support.
