John Michael is doing GREAT!!!!!!!! We couldn't have asked for a better outcome. We had a follow-up appointment on June 27th with the Oncologist. As in the previous blog the lymph nodes were clear (NO CANCER!!! YAAAY!!!) The rest of the tests came in and they were all normal except of course the spot that was removed and it just confirmed that it was the Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma. GREAT news is it was removed and the doctor said he is now "CANCER FREE"!!! The most AMAZING words I think I have ever heard! We are so blessed and thankful for all of the prayers and support! John Michael will continue to have scans to make sure it is completely gone and stays gone. His next appointment will be July 28th and that will just be an MRI of his head and neck since it did not spread through his body there is no need for a full body scan. It will verify that all of the cancer was completely removed and there are no new signs of it. Then October 28th he will have another full PT-Scan which is pretty much the same as an MRI except it is more extensive and it does the whole body. As a mom I wanted a full body scan every time but the reason they don't do that is because the amount of radiation it puts off. It is not safe for a little body like John Michael's. As long as both scans are clear he will be getting the MRI's of the head and neck every 4 months!!! John Michael is definitely a fighter and God does POWERFUL things!!!! Prayers are still very much appreciated!
John Michael and Miranda are both doing great putting aside the medical part. John Michael is starting to talk full sentences and is ornery as ever! Miranda is getting ready to start preschool next month. Where has time gone? It definitely goes by way to fast. I couldn't be more proud and happy of what my babies are becoming. I will update everyone again after John Michael's MRI. Hope everyone is having a great summer!
