Some Awesome News

By Roneil Icatar
We finally got the results from Isabella's MRI from Saturday and they show that there is "marked improvement" in tumor size. This is great news, especially considering that the previous couple MRIs showed no reduction in size of the tumor. We haven't seen the actual images yet so we're not sure how much is left and where it is, but we're remaining cautiously optimistic. At this point, we are still scheduled for radiation later this summer, but we will still discuss with Isabella's oncologist if there could be any changes in treatment. This news will certainly help the summer days go by more happily.

    What wonderful news! Julianne, I'm headed to Vermont this weekend for our 20th reunion from CVU! I'll pass along the progress! Let's try to get together in Norwalk sometime soon. It would be excellent to catch up!

    Great to hear the positive results. You guys could use a little laid back summer fun. Take a breather and just enjoy the present with the kids. That will rev you up.
