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.
