Hepatoblastoma - CT scan - first postoperative

Friday, 23 April 2010, we booked into hospital at 6am. Bobbinog had his ct scan of his abdomen booked for 7.30am.
Stress of note big time. Two months previous to this he only had AFP tested, and 2 months prior to that he stopped chemo. So he has been off chemo for 4 months.......
He went in for the scan at 7.45am...(always late) and was out by 8.15am. While he was under they did his bloods at the same time. Then we waited for the results.....and waited some more, and then some more... Finally at 11am I got the ct scan report which read:.........
No sign of tumour reactivation.....liver appears clear without any abnormalities.......
What a relief... Good enough to bring tears to my eyes. Bobbinog is still cancer free. We are so happy and relieved. That was the big scan, now there is bloods every 2 months and the next ct is in 6 months. Also, his AFP was down on 3.2. Fantastic or what. Our little miracle....1 in a million.

Hi all, we're back again. Bobbinog is due for his next lot of tests. He has had a wonderfull 2 months since the last tests. He is a healthy happy little boy. He can now stand, the crawling bit he has given up as a bad idea.... walking is the way to go. He says a few words, hello, ma-ma, da-da, ta-ta, does clap handy's and waves etc. He loves Telly Tubbies, la la is his favourite and is normally glued to the screen. He is a really cute little bugger.

He is having his 1st post chemo ct scan on friday 23 april, and the usual afp test. Stressing a bit but we believe all will be fine. Will advise.
