News of first doctors visit

So, as you all know Hannah had her first doctors visit today. We probably have more questions now than yesterday. What we do know however is that the Oncologist / Surgeon is suggesting that Hannah have a mastectomy of the affected breast. The issue at hand is how to treat her as she is a child with an adult disease and the hospitals that deal with breast cancer does not typically treat children, and the Childrens hospital does not have the facilities to treat breast cancer. We have two options at this point; (A) Hannah goes to a breast center that does not have the experience in children or (B) she goes to a hospital that has more pediatric care but not so much in the breast cancer area. We will be meeting with a couple of surgeons in the next few days to figure out a game plan. We still do not have a prognosis at this point, nor do we know what type(s) of follow up treatment Hannah will receive. This is a lot for us to digest so as more information arises, we will update the site.

Once again, Thank you for all of your love and support. It really makes things bearable in this difficult time.

Love Jeremy and Carrie

First Doctors Visit

On Monday 4/20, Hannah will be going to her first Oncologist visit at Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles. We are planning to be there most of the day as we are going to map out a plan of attack. We hope to have a lot of our questions answered. From what we understand there has never been a case reported in a child this young, so it will be a learning experience for both us and the doctors. As new information developes, we will update the site. We cannot express how gratefull we are for everybodys support through this difficult time. Thank you and God bless!
