Good news, all scans are clear! I called and got the good report from the oncology fellow on call. This is a significant scan, since statistics say that year 2 after end of treatment has the highest rate of recurrence for medullo patients. After 2 years, rate of recurrence goes down. Hannah does have to be scanned for at least 10 years, because there is still a chance of recurrence, not only for medulloblastoma, but also for other tumors and leukemia.

But for now we relish in our good news, AGAIN! This is the first time in nearly 3 years that we haven't had an upcoming clinic visit or scan scheduled. Feels a bit strange. most likely we will go back in March to check in again. After this, Hannah's scans will go to every 6 months (instead of every 4.)

Thank you for all of your prayers and good wishes. Love to you all!
