Ethan's mom Stacy posted this update on her myspace page...
Here's an update so far on Ethan. We are down here at Lucille Packard Childrens Hospital down at Stanford. His bone scan and bone marrow tests came back negative. Yay! Unfortunately we also found out that the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes on his neck on the same side the cancerous tumor is. The doctor said that is normal and would still mean the cancer is considered localized. We did another ct scan on the neck and chest area to see if it spread to the other side of the neck. That would be considered high risk and would need a way more aggressive treatment. He gets is port put in on Thursday and we will find out results then. I should be down here all week and probably into most of next. I am really anxious to start treatment. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about these results and want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers:) It sure is a great place we live up there. Ethan is doing great. He has absolutely no pain(unless he is getting an iv) and is otherwise very happy and healthy. I look forward to 2010:)

Thanks for sharing this, Sarah. I was about to send off an email to you to see if you'd heard from Stacy. Praying that the cancer has not spread any future and that the treatments will start soon!!
