We've just spoken with the consultant oncologist Helen Rees, and it appears from Timmy's last MRI scan that the Rhabdomyosarcoma tumor has gone! It's very positive news and although Timmy is not out of the woods, it is a huge landmark in his treatment. Now we have to focus on possible further treatment and recovery...
It seems likely that randomisation maintenance Chemo will be the next step. This will mean lighter doses of Chemo daily at home for 6 months to control and destroy cells that may still be lurking. Its an option Kate and I pushed for early in his treatment as we've heard good things. Randomisation means literally a random chance of getting maintenance chemo - this way they can assess and research drugs to beat these child cancers without prejudice - its a good thing...
on to the next chapter...... :)
