Dear Madeline,
Lost in the shuffle of all your surgical activity and recovery was a scrap of good news that I managed to pry out of the oncology team. The genetic analysis of your tumor came out in your favor. The chromosomes they found were the ones that everyone was hoping for which means that, in terms of fighting your cancer, you get to stay put in the "standard risk" category instead of shifting over to the "very high risk" category for the treatment course. The initial treatments are the same, but after that, treatment gets much more aggressive for "very high risk" patients. That's your old man for you, finding little victories where he can.
Love,
Daddy
