Well here I am again. Tomorrow they are supposed to start my treatments. All I know is I just want to hurry up. The doctors told us all the stuff they are going to do. They said they are going to use a special drug on me that is pretty new. They call it a clinical trial. It's supposed to keep the tumor from growing. I'm going to have radiation too. It's only for 15 minutes a day so I guess that's not so much. Tomorrow they are going to do a bunch of blood tests and so that port thing will make it easier. That's good! I don't really have much to write about now.

Note from Bree's Parents:
During the meetings with the doctors, we reviewed the treatment plan, going over every step. Bree is going to participate in a clinical trial of a drug called Vandetenib which is a chemo agent that works to block the cell receptors that tell the cells in a tumor to divide and multiply. It is also meant to work to contrict the blood vessel growth within the tumor so that blood cannot aid in the growth of the tumor. She will undergo 6 weeks of radiation treatments, starting tomorrow at 2:30 CST. She will also have numerous blood draws as well and that is why we chose to have the port placement done.
Tomorrow will be a long but good day for Brianna! Thanks to all who have been praying for her and continue to pray for her.
Love to all!
Bree's Parents and Brianna
