We have 12 days until Millie checks in to Kaiser Hospital Oakland for her first stay and round of chemotherapy. For now, we have a happy and, to all who see her, healthy and active kid. I guess what seems so illogical is that we are going to turn this "healthy" kid into a sick one through poisoning her blood with a blend of toxic drugs. It is all so hard to beleive, but we wil do anything and everything to kill this tumor and rid her of cancer.
Tomorrow, December 17, we'll go to Kaiser Hospital in Santa Rosa for a bone scan. She will get a shot of some lightly radioactive material (!!) and will come back 3 hours later for the scan. We are praying that this scan will show no further tumors.
