Little Ruby is a little tough fighter!
Here is the update on her and her family.
Her lung mass biopsy came back positive for metastatic melanoma and then was followed by a PET scan. From that they found that it is only in her lungs, no where else which is really good! Also the insurance/drug company allowed the drug to be administered her in state at Primary Childrens - they don't have to uproot their family!
Ruby got a port-o-cath and her first treatment of Nivolumab on 4/8. So far, 10 days out, she hasn't had many side effects except some soreness from her surgery of the port and then some tiredness. Amazing. Blessings upon blessings.
Again, you can follow their journey here: http://thacksmack.blogspot.com/
Keep them in your thoughts and prayers and that she continues to tolerate treatment going forward.
