Thanks for all of your comments and prayers for Gigi. We decided to do the chemo; she's so young...we want to make sure she is around for the next 10+ years. It kills me to do something like this that's nothing more than preventative, but it's obviously better than doing it to try to combat something.

She started Thursday - so far acting normal. Hope it stays that way! And she's bring treated at UC Davis, so I think we're getting the best possible opinion. Theyve been really great with her and us throughout this entire thing.

Thanks again everyone.

Just a side note question - I notice people always recommended going to a tesching hospital (like Davis). Why is that?
