More Chemo for Brian

We are in Houston at Texas Children's Hospital. Brian had an appointment at 1 today to biopsy his scalp. Things were running a little behind schedule and we didn't get up to the 14th floor to see Dr. McClain until a little after 3. After talking with him for a little bit he sent us straight down to radiology to get some scans. When the x-rays were complete we headed back up to the 14th floor to talk to Dr. McClain again. At this point it was after 5:00 and the office staff had gone home. Dr. McClain talked with us more and we discovered Brian will need six more months of chemo. We are VERY thankful that he is able to do this specific chemo drug orally rather than an infusion. That means no port which is an answer to prayer, but Brian is going to require chemo that is known to lower counts. I will update more thoroughly and add pictures when we get home, but I know several of you are anxiously waiting for an update. Thank you for your faithful prayers.
