Rachel had another set of 3-month follow-up scans this past week (chest CT and spinal MRI.) Those were both clear – no evidence of disease. ❤

The MRI showed that the supporting hardware (carbon fiber screws) in her spine is loosening and shifting and her spine is curving. Her oncologist here is sending copies of the scans and also pictures of her back to her surgeon down in Boston. We are sure she’s going to need another surgery to correct the problem; her back pain is getting worse and one of the screws looks like it’s about ready to come through her skin. We just want to make sure she can have the surgery and recover in time for college this fall, since she’s already had to defer a year for treatments. Stay tuned for more updates.

Also – Scotland flights are booked!
