Laney is now officially cancer free!!!

I've been waiting to write that! Laney went in for her CT scan yesterday. It was a long, rough day for her without eating but she made it! Today Kevin and I had an appointment with Dr. Slone to get results. She said that Laney's scans looked great and she didn't see any signs of cancer cells!! Thank you God!! We were just thrilled and relieved! There's a 30% chance that it could come back but we're not thinking about that today. Even if that happened she said that more chemo would take care of it and it's a 100% survival rate. Laney will have CT scans every 3 months for the first year. At some point after that we'll switch to sonograms and that will continue until she's 8. They'll be looking for any cancer growth on her liver as well as another type of cancer on her kidneys that she's at risk for. She'll have a hearing test in 6 months to determine if there's any long term damage. We haven't noticed anything up to this point so we're thinking she's just fine! Thank you for being there for us in so many ways since Laney was diagnosed. We can't say thank you enough!
