School is out and it's another beautiful day in Colorado.  Faye is significantly better each day but on Monday her new Oncologist, Dr. Maris, decided that we should give Faye more recovery time before starting treatments.  We do not have the schedule yet but it looks like we will start treatments next week; two 21 day cycles followed by a PET scan.  The goal is to get a clear PET before starting the BMT.  We are anxious to see how Faye tolerates this chemo/anti-body/mab; it is supposed to be comparatively moderate in terms of side effects but we won't know until we try it.

Good news - Faye's surgeon has contacted Creek HS and recommended Faye be excused from finals. Faye's counselor then contacted all of her teachers and they worked together to seal the deal - Faye has completed her junior year and is officially a senior.

More good news - Faye's competitive soccer coach has excused Faye from tryouts and offered Faye a permanent spot on the team.  Which is great, Faye is looking forward to hanging with her team next fall for what will be their last season of competitive soccer.

Looking forward to a long, busy summer in which we will clear this cancer stuff up once and for all.  ~L
