I'll start with the end of this post, first. Great news! Madi had an MRI today and all indications are there are no abnormalities, no sign of regrowth, etc. Outstanding news!
With some cancers patients go through the various treatments and after x years of clean scans, they're labeled 'cancer free'. Chordoma is a sneaky bugger, which is why MRIs are scheduled every 3 months for a several years, then every 6 months, then annually. If there are ever any abnormalities, the medical team can jump on it.
Next Step: remove the chemo port, which is another simple procedure.
So how's Madi?! She's registered for college, classes start January 12th. She's putting on weight, regaining stamina, and growing noticeable fuzz/stubble on her noggin... eye brows too :-)
