Cody's new scan's

Just wanted to share some good news !!!!! Cody's scans were very much improved from the scans we had done in Dec 2010. So the Radiation and new Chemo must be working because he only has 3 small active spots they are keeping an eye on. He is feeling much better day by day. He will take a chemo pill Monday - Friday, then once a month we will have to travel to Fallon or Carson City to be infused with another chemo. I will only have t o draw his blood once a week instead of twice a week. We get a 3 month break from going to TX . They will do more scans the end of June to see if this Chemo is working. He may have to have some more radiation done when we are there in June, but we will have to wait and see what the scans show. I can't believe we have been doing this 1 year , sure has been a very long and tiring year. So much traveling it's gets hard being on the road . We have come so far with his treatments, and with this good news it's hard to believe. Cody will have to be on chemo for many, many years, and scans all the time as there is no cure for his kind of cancer DSRCT ( desmoplastic small round cell tumor ). He sure has been through hell and back !!!!!. He really is one amazing young man. I am so proud of him for doing everything the Dr's put him through, It's not a easy process for him to do. Kids should not spend most of their lives in the hospitals, it's just not right. Thank you to all of you for your support !!!!! Janae Nielson ( Cody's mom )
