Today was a long day, we met with Dr. Shield's at Wills Eye Center. It was hard to see all the test they had to do on her today but all the doctors were great with her.
Dr. Shield's diagnosis is she definetly has retinoblastoma in both of her eyes. The left is worse than the right and they have decided that chemo therapy is best for her situation. She will be going through 6 treatments. The treatments will be for 2 days once a month. So we will be visiting Philly once a month at least until August. But the doctor seemed very optomistic in saving both eyes. With the left as bad as it is she is not sure about how well she will be able to see out of that eye but only time will tell... so we have a long journey ahead of us but we are so happy that her life will be saved and she will be able to keep both of her eyes.
So tomorrow we will go to the doctors and they are putting under again to get better pictures of her eyes. Then they are going to try to get the chemo started tomorrow, if not, she will start it on wednesday.
I also just want to say thank you to everyone again on the support we have been given. It means so much to us more than we can say.
