We received the results from Monday’s MRI while in the hospital on Tuesday. Haven has another mass (tumor) present in the same location as the original one. The size is now at 1.5 x 1 cm. It is again on both sides of the aorta and up against the spine.
As of right now we will not be doing anything with the tumor. Her immune system will be completely shut down as of May 8th and we do not feel it’s worth the risk of an infection due to more surgery.
We will be watching the tumor through MRIs taken every couple months. Her tumor has a history of being slow growing and right now it is pretty stable. We will be taking it one day at a time.
I will keep everyone updated as to any information regarding this.
