Good News in Threes!

A note from Dr Amy Lane (Oncology resident at MUVH) to say that Raven’s results from the FNA (Fine Needle Aspirate) came back clear cytologically - there are no lymphocytes in her lymph nodes currently. This combined with her clinical remission is considered full remission from cancer. This …
