Gianni is our pants on fire 6 yr old. In Nov 07 she was diagnosed with a supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (sPNET), a highly malignant, rare brain tumor. Dr. Nalin Gupta (UCSF) performed surgery to completely remove the tumor. She completed 9 mos of high dose chemotherapy with Dr. Paul Fisher/Trish Murphy, NP at Stanford's LPCH (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 08. Today (19 Nov 2011) she is 1,464 days (4 yrs, 3 days) NED!!! [who's counting...?] Thank you for your positive thoughts!

Gearing up for Cycle 7 . . . Really!
Just a quick update today.
We finished Gianni's final IV antibiotic infusion last Wednesday night (whew!). Tony took her to clinic on Thursday to be de-accessed and today for labs. Her counts are great so we are planning on a quick 2-day trip to the cabin (it is Father's Day after all!).
Round 7 starts next Tuesday.
Lots of gratitude and hugs to all of you for your constant support (we feel it!).
