Small Allyson Update

[tiggerlover]

It has been awhile since I posted about Allyson, so I thought I would give you a small update. For those of you who are not familiar with this, Allyson is my 11 year old niece who has a rare type of children's cancer and has been seeking treatment for the last 10 months. Anyway.....

The good news is that the chemotherapy is almost over. She goes to the city on Mother's day and begins her last triple round of chemo on Monday. As this is the very last of the chemo, they expect it to be a doozy, so they are expecting two bad weeks from this and then trying to move on to a normal life. They will be doing some final tests, but at this point they think they have gotten all the cancer. She will need to follow up with the doctors every three weeks for a while and then the visits move to every 6 months, so there is a lot to look forward to. Additionally when this is all finished Allyson will finally get her new puppy and the final arrangements for her Make-A-Wish trip are in the process for this summer, she is so excited.

Again, to the many of you that have prayed for Allyson, sent Allyson cards and gifts, thank you from the bottom of my heart. There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel and we just pray that the cancer was caught in time and that this will be the end of it.

OMG, this is my first time reading about this.

As the mother of an 11yo I cannot imagine what Allyson's parents are going through. I'm sure this update will give them hope.

God bless them all and you!

Debbi so glad to hear these treatments are finally coming to an end.

My thoughts and prayers are Allison can soon be a healthy 11 year, the fear and pain of the last 10 months will soon be behind her.

I will keep Allyson in my prayers. I hope this round of chemo isn't too bad.

Thanks for the update, I'm praying for continued success. Chemo is so hard for younger folks but it is the only treatment right now.

I hope she has a fabulous trip lined up!

Good news update, Debbi, thanks. Sounds like this may be it, for good. And that is great. She and her family remain in my prayers, hope the trip and the planning that goes with it are super.

Margie, Allyson, her mom and dad and one friend are going to the Bahama's to swim with the Dolphins. They are all very excited.

Thanks again to everyone for the good wishes and prayers.
