Next Steps

The next phase of Christens treatment today is beginning today. She is at UVa today to get a chest CT, and a full body scan to see if there is any visible cancer activity anywhere in her body. Please pray that these tests would all come back negative. Also please pray that her blood counts would return to normal soon. They took an unexpected drop this week.

Christen returns to CHOP this coming Monday (10/6), and then we go to Houston October 12th for a consult with an osteosarcoma specialist about possible further treatment.

Thank you all so much for the continued prayer. We appreciate the prayers and encouragements which you regularly lift up our behalf. They mean so much to us.

Steve & Debbie for the family
