Hi everyone!

I am very happy to share that Lucas is in remission! In order to determine remission for Lucas's disease his doctors took a sample of his bone marrow and there was less than 0.01% of cancer detected. This is excellent news and means that the treatment he is receiving is working. The plan is to continue his treatment over the next 26 months (give or take) to ensure that his cancer never returns. Remission is wonderful news, but Lucas still has a long road ahead.

Lucas just finished the first week of his next phase of treatment. This phase is called consolidation and will last 12 weeks. During this time he will continue 3 medications he was already recieving and his doctors are incorporating 4 new medications. This week he recieved a new medication and he tolerated it very well. 

Lucas' energy levels are rising and we are so happy to see him spending more time laughing and playing. He is getting back to his love of playing with his cars and trucks and building with blocks. Lucas also attended a Halloween party this week where he decided to dress up as a garbage man!

Please continue to keep our sweet boy in your thoughts and prayers. We are wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween!

Love,

Veronica
