The Plan.



Wednesday we got the call from Rylie's doctors and we have put a plan in place. We are going to hold off treatment for 3 months and do repeat tests at the end of May/ beginning of June. This will allow the doctors a chance to see if the tumor is growing and if it is how fast it is growing. After that, we will meet with all of the doctors and re-evaluate and either repeat the same tests in another 3 months or start on a treatment plan.

The hope is the tumor will not grow. Some NF tumors appear and never grow and while this would be the best-case scenario we will be prepared for other scenarios. 

We are a little nervous about waiting for all of the obvious reasons but we know in the long run it will be more beneficial to Rylie. We are not losing anything by waiting a few more months, in fact we are gaining. Rylie will be older, stronger and more capable of fighting her way through a chemo treatment if need be. Please keep our sweet girl in your thoughts and prayers- she is in for a very long year but with your support she will make it to the other side!
