Update on Maggie's scans:

Today we got the scan results back. We had a CT, MRI, MIBG and Bone scans. Long story short it looks really good. The MIBG scan only picks up active cancer cells in the body (active disease), while the others look and measure masses in the body. The MIBG only showed a small spot on the base of the scull. The rest appear to be dead masses in the body. Besides that there was some "activity" in the bone marrow but the doctor thinks it is more likely to be the bone marrow recovering after the transplant than active disease, but we will not be completely sure until her bone marrow has completely recovered and we can do the bone marrow biopsy. We will have a meeting with the radiologist this afternoon to discuss what they will radiate and will start preparing for the radiation treatment next week. The doctors are really happy with where she is now as are we. A huge thank you for all our friends and family for the continued love and support on this journey of ours. We honestly don't know how we would have made it this far without you. We are getting there!!!!
