Brianna had a rough night last night unable to sleep and was starving (knowing she would not be able to eat because of the MRI) We were up most of the night and needed to begin our day around 7AM. She made it through the 2 hour MRI under general anesthesia and was fine. Matt and I met with the oncologist, radiologists, and child life specialists who are all working on putting together a treatment plan. We are still awaiting final word as to whether or not she will be part of the experimental trial, but it looks like it should be a go. Radiation and chemo will begin Monday. Brianna is ridiculously bored and wants nothing to do with any of this....just get it done! Tired of meetings, questions, moving from one appointment to the next!! The medication makes her very irritable to begin with, so add the stress of sitting around all day and waiting makes things worse. The medication also makes her extremely hungry in addition to leaving her feeling very fatigued. We have many more appointments and tests to go through tomorrow. Friday she may have a port put in her chest which will make it easier for numerous tests and IV's to be administered without her having to deal with needles. we are looking forward to starting treatment, getting into a routine, and feeling up to resuming some activities to relieve our boredom. Thanks again for all of your support! We appreciate all of your words of encouragement and inspiration which helps us face each new obstacle.
