Radiation + Nelarabine

Ava started radiation on Wednesday. She will continue to receive it every day for the next 16 days (excluding weekends) with her last scheduled dose on June 20th. However, there is a maximum cumulative amount of radiation that Ava can receive, so it's possible that she could finish radiation earlier than June 20th if she reaches the max before then. For example, Ava's measured exposure from today's radiation treatment was more than originally estimated due to her smaller size.

In the meantime, the plan is for Ava to get another round of nelarabine starting next week, so she will receive both treatments concurrently.

Please continue to pray for successful remission! As Esther mentioned in the previous post, they are seeing evidence of disease shrinking! We continue to pray for this work to be complete! To God be all glory; may we continue to praise Him in all circumstances as we trust Him to care for us. May His power be perfected in our weakness. Thank you for your faithful intercession.
