The Biopsy Went Smoothly
Dec 4th, 2008 by michelle
Today my mom saw her oncologist, and he did another biopsy in her right hip bone. He was able to retrieve bone, bone marrow and blood samples. He said that the blood looked good. If she were in an acute stage of leukemia, her blood would be thick and hard to remove, but hers looked normal.
The top leukemia haematologist at a major hospital in NYC has made an opening for my mom early next week. The doctors are still deciding whether to treat her cancer with radiation or chemotherapy. In either case, they are doing to use very aggressive treatment.
Despite my mother’s dire diagnosis, the doctor feels very hopeful that this is a “curative”. He says that it isn’t going to be easy, but hopes that they will be able to cure her cancer.
Please keep praying! My mom may have more tests down the road because she is “not textbook” and “out of the box.” He is still “perplexed”, but has all of the top doctors looking into my mom’s case.
You are in our prayers. May God bless you and your family always!
thanking God for the mercies of this day - glad it went smoothly. these are not easy times for you - I pray that you will know that God is with you in this.
