Day 1- Round 6 (Final Round of Chemo!)

This is a quick update- hopefully I will get a chance to update further later tonight.

We spoke with Dr. P today and got great news! The tumors in the left eye have responded well and we are going to continue treating one of the tumors with laser treatments while the second looks to be completely gone!

We have not seen any change in the right eye for the last six months so it remains a bit of a mystery. Thankfully the tumors in that eye have not grown. We will likely be meeting with another doctor, Dr. G, at MD Anderson in Houston, to see of there is anything he suggests and because he will be heading the new retinoblastoma center here at Texas Childrens. Next month Dr. P will still look at Gracie and treat her left eye and make sure things are not growing. Sometime in the next couple months we will at least consult with Dr. G.

We are excited about the progress today and thank you all for your prayers. They are working!
