HAPPY NEW YEAR - A MESSAGE FROM RICH AND ANDREA

Rich and I are happy to let you know that the (cerebral spinal fluid) test results came back today... negative! They found no cancer cells in the lumbar puncture from yesterday which means Julian will be treated with standard chemo/radiation therapy rather than the more aggressive, high-risk therapy. Praise God! We are so incredibly grateful for your prayers! Although our boy will still face more than a year of increasingly challenging treatment, we are so relieved that he will be spared the more damaging radiation therapy that we originally were told would likely be the case. This is the best New Year's wish we could ask for and we give God the glory!
Rejoicing,Andrea and Rich
P.S. Julian will stay in the hospital several more days. Radiation will start next week and chemo soon after.
