These scan results are unbelieveably nerve racking.   Always hoping for the best result, but trying to not have unrealistic expectations is the hard part.  The Doctors have been good to try to set expectations, but but still give hope.  Ash has been really brave and strong through the entire process...I don't know how she does it, but she tries to maintain life and a normal environment for the kids much as possible.  Almost everyone that knows what she has been dealing with will tell me they can't believe she has cancer, she looks so good, and is positive.  Even sometimes I forgot.

We got Ashlee's scan results today.  We got some good news and so news we are not super excited about.  The majority of the cancer has responded well to the chemo, but the Doctor would like to see her have 2-3 more infusions of chemo before giving her a break.   Ash's blood counts are pretty low again, so they can't give her treatment today, and we will wait until next week...

There are a few nodules in her lungs that the Doctor has recommended for her to do some additonal testing on her lungs and to see a pulmonalogist.   The thought is that the nodules are hopefully not cancerous, but something else...we should know in the next few days.  We are hoping it's nothing to be worried about.
