Genetic Testing

We finally received a verbal report of Peyton's genetic testing.  Based on the findings Peyton's cell mutation, which cause Retinoblastoma, is isolated to her eye.  That means that the cancer cells are/were only present on that gene.  She is also no more likely than anyone else to develop other cancers.  This particular genetic testing is 90% accurate.  We should have the written report this week and I will post more detail.

We will head back to Philly in July for her routine checkup. 

On a lighter note, Peyton has a lot of things coming her way in the next few weeks.  She is preparing for her graduation from  Asbury Preschool.  There is a week full of activities to mark the end of this chapter.  We also will be celebrating her 5th birthday, and T-ball starts next week. 

Thanks again for all the support and prayers for Peyt.
