Report


 Mac's Pathology report came in today. I think the doctors were as floored by the results as we were and still are. It seems this nightmare we are living in is much worse than expected. Mac has been diagnosed with a grade 4 astrocytoma tumor. It is as bad as it could possible be. We are meeting with the interdisciplinary team on Monday to learn more about his protocol. Tomorrow he will be moved to the Cam Neely Bone Marrow Transplant Ward were they handle all pediatric cancer patients. He will begin his chemotherapy at some point this week. Please continue your prayers and good thoughts... we need them more now then ever.

Thank you all for your continued support.

    Mac is a unique little boy. He's very strong, and extremely brave. He's not afraid to take risks. He's a fighter, and that will help him on the road ahead. To all of you - whatever you need, no matter how big or how small, no matter what time of day or night - please know that we're all here for you and love you so much!

    Love,
    Carragh
