MRI result and maintenance chemotherapy cycle #1

So today Jason went back to the Childrens National medical center hematology/oncolgy clinic for his maintenance chemotherapy cycle #1 (day 0).  Today Dr. Packer showed us the MRI scan and explained the final result of MRI.  The result is good.  Contrary to what they previously thought, the metastasis on his spine is same as before, NOT WORSE, it is stable.  And he confirmed that the main tumor in his brain ventricle got much smaller.  So we were all happy!!  =)
So no changes in his chemotherapy regimen, no addition of Gleevec.  Jason will be continued on vincristine and carboplatin weekly. 

Jason received scheduled chemotherapy today.  Today Jason's daddy came along with us.  Making mommy's job much easier!!  =)  He cried alot (as usual) and threw up & messed up his clothes (as usual) and was very fussy toward all the nurses and doctors (as usual) but managed to receive his chemotherapy without any problems.

Still waiting..

We left home little bit after 8:00 am and came back home around 2:30 pm..

Usually 2-2.5 hrs driving to and from hospital, 3-4 hours in the clinic...

Chemotherapy days is a very tiring day...
