MRI Results
Levi is through with his testing this week. His MRI showed that he has had a good response to treatment. Remember that he not only had the brain tumor but it had spread to cover his brain and spinal cord - called leptomeningeal disease. This is some of the hardest type of cancer to treat. On his latest MRI, this has gotten much better. The leptomeningeal disease is now gone from his brain (doesn’t it look so good?!) and decreased over the spine. Woohoo! Even though it isn’t gone, we are thrilled to see it has decreased. This means Levi will now move on to the next stage of treatment. However, as he is on a research protocol, we are still waiting to find out exactly what this next step looks like. He will be getting more chemo - now called consolidation - followed by stem cell transplant. The research study means that we are waiting to find out how many times he has to repeat this. Either way, we are all just hoping it continues to crush the cancer, but that the side effects are manageable for our little, but Amazing Levi!
