We Are Thankful!
Dear friends and family, Thank you for your continued prayers and thoughts for Marisa. We wanted to share a brief update, and then share what we are thankful for in this season of gratitude. Post radioactive iodine treatment... A "welcome home" signed for Marisa, authored by our nine and six year old. Doctors remain pleased with Marisa's recovery at this point. In fact, the doctor of nuclear medicine and the endocrinologist will wait until May before doing the next comparison scans. This feels like both good and nerve-wracking news. It is good news in the sense that there is nothing out of the normal projection of recovery that makes doctors want do more surveillance until the spring. It is nerve-wracking in that we want to know as soon as possible if there are internal changes that come about. Apparently though, with the slow growth rate of this cancer there should not be much to see either way prior to this six month check up. We are grateful! Thi
