Tell the band to start warming up

The scan results are in:

Lungs - completely clear; no sign of any lesions
Left kidney (area where it was removed) - no new growths detected
Liver - 2 main "spots" remain; both are smaller than the last scan; both are sized between a hazelnut and a walnut.

There is a chance that the remaining lesions are just scar tissue, with no remaining tumor. To determine, Harper will undergo another biopsy, likely in the next week or two.

Besides the biopsy, the remaining step, according to the standard of care for Wilms, is radiation. We will meet with the radiation oncologist in the next week or so. He will walk us through what that will be like, how long it will go on, and what adverse effects we can expect. They will likely irradiate the lungs, the liver and the area where they took the kidney.

The chemo appears to have done its job. Now, we need to finish any remaining cells off for good.

We're not done yet, but we're feeling closer to the end than ever. 9 months ago we didn't even think about what it would be like to be where we are today - at least I tried to avoid it as we didn't know then if we'd ever get here. But, here we are.

It's still too early to celebrate just yet... But someone should tell the band to start warming up.
