The drugs Carboplatin and Vincristine will be used for chemo. Zoe will have 10 weeks of treatment and will then be evaluated to see if treatment has stopped the tumor growth or restored some vision. If so, she will continue 4 weeks on and 3 weeks off for one very long year. We are grateful that she will be able to have out-patient treatment. If Zoe gets sick she will be hospitalized, but otherwise we get to stay at home.
Dear April,
ReplyDeleteZoe will continue to be in our family's daily prayers as she moves forward with the chemo. Thank you for this blog and for updating us on what is happening. I love the image of her little petshop beaver giving you a "blessing." We love her and you!!!!

April and Sean,
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts and prayers are with you and Zoe as you move forward with her treatment. Your blog is beautifully written and I could feel such a sweet spirit as I read it. Thank you for sharing it with us. If you need anything, we are just a phone call away. Even though we have not spent a lot of time together we feel a love for your family and wish you all the best. Hopefully by the time the warm weather is here Zoe and Sophie can play!
Love,

We have been praying for your family a ton. We think about you constantly and I feel like an awful friend for getting caught up in my own life and not calling. Thank you for opening up this blog. If life gets too tough give us a call to go out and do something fun for Zoe. Again, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

ReplyDeleteApril I have been thinking about you so much and praying my heart out for little miss Zoe. Please know that I am here if you need anything or everything - I know I just met you but I felt such a strong connection and I've heard so many great things about you! Zoe is darling and I can tell she is a fighter and will make it through this like a champion. I know she will surprise us all with her strength and her incredible little spirit! She truly is an angel. Good luck with the surgery and PLEASE let me know if you need anything!!!
