Anna's tumor has reccurred

We have had an exhausting week. We went to Birmingham, Dec. 8th for an end of treatment follow-up MRI and ended up having Anna admitted for surgery. Her tumor had come back and was putting pressure along the spinal cord. They took her into surgery as soon as possible to remove the pressure on her spine. She was in ICU for 48 hours following surgery and then moved to the regular oncology floor to begin a new round of chemo. She received chemo for 5 days and we were released to come home the following Friday. She is recovering from surgery like a champ. As well as enduring a different course of chemotherapy. We will remain at home through the holidays and return for her next chemo in January. After which her doctors have scheduled a CT Scan to study the tumors response to the new drugs and will then determine the next step of her treatment.

Please keep our family and Anna's team of doctors in your prayers.

We want to wish you all a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year! We send you all our love! Thomas, Lorra, Anna and Drew (soon to be officially a Casson!)
