EUA's Today

All 3 boys had EUA's today, in Calgary.  It's nice when they don't have to travel quite so far from home for these exams.

Mason was first today.  No treatment needed!

Luke was next.  He needed Cryo (freezing) on a stubborn tumor.  Unfortunately, this tumor has been treated a few times now, and it seems the cryo isn't killing it.  There is a small area in this tumor that has a little protrusion.  Often before tumors seed (or rupture) they become raised.  It's not an immediate threat, but it is possible the dr.'s will need to use an injected chemo (melphalan) to treat this tumor.  So, in September, treatments will be in Toronto where they can do this procedure if necessary.

Thomas went last and was all clear, no treatment needed.

2/3 all clears isn't bad.  We are grateful that these trips are getting easier.  It was a little disheartening because we are still waiting for that all clear for all 3 boys in the same visit.  That has yet to happen!

Let's keep Luke in our prayers, that the tumor doesn't grow.


I'll let you try to guess who is who below!
