Surgeon Report

Talked to the surgeon today. He was not as encouraging. The report from his recent MRI shows more growth, which we knew of, but the MRI report said that they thought it was recurrent tumor. The Radiologist thinks it may be neucrosis (dying tissue from the radiation). The only way to know for sure is surgery, pathology report. No guarantees on outcome. Surgeon said that Chris is doing so good right now and that he felt he had a good chance at getting the two places of suspect out. One is very close to his movement (right side). If he lets it go longer, could be worse case scenario (rapid growth or not able to get it all....)but Chris' original pathology report was that he wouldn't even be good or here right now, so much to be thankful for!!! Chris has decided to still wait for 3 months and then have another MRI and see. The surgeon kept saying he was really worried about the spot by his movement and would like to get it out but knows that this may Chris' only "good" time. We know that God has graciously given Chris this "time." Thanks for the many prayers!
