Dear Family and Friends,
Some bad (but good!) news....
Unfortunately, the results of the liver biopsy have come back inconclusive, which means my mom will have to undergo another biopsy in the next couple days, and we will have to start the waiting period for the results, all over again.
Fortunately, it's because when they went in to biopsy the liver, they thought they were biopsying a piece of the cancer, which actually turned out to be a cavernous hemangiomas (a fancy way of saying, a non-cancerous tummor). We are taking this as a very good sign! Maybe there is less cancer than originally thought and gives us all great hope. But since the results of the biopsy are inconclusive, and therefore another one must be scheduled, and they’ll go for tissue from the lymphatic system this time.
She is scheduled for her biopsy tomorrow morning (Friday). Then we will have to wait once again for the results, the last piece of the puzzle needed before she can meet with the oncologists in London and begin treatment.
