We made a quick trip to Vandy today for a clinic check and Liam’s blood work looked GREAT! 

Praise the Lord!! 

We go back next Tuesday for Chemo Cycle #2! 

To answer a few FAQ: 

• What is Liam’s precise diagnosis? 

Germinoma of the Central Nervous System

•What stage is it? 
There is no standard, formal staging system (like the I-IV stages used in other cancers) for Central Nervous System (CNS) germinomas.

•How common is this diagnosis among children? 
Central nervous system (CNS) germinomas are rare, accounting for about 3% to 4% of primary pediatric brain tumors in Western countries.

•What are the next steps? 
Liam will complete Chemo Cycle 2 and then an MRI will be used to evaluate the treatment progress.
