Sorry this one is a bit late. Becca is resting well tonight. She is tired but stable. The doctors talked with us tonight. As of now (things are always changing) they are going to remove as much of the tumor in her tail bone that they can. They will send that off to be tested. Unfortunately the previous biopsy came back inconclusive as they didn’t get enough to clearly define which type of cancer it is. They are leaning to a type of bone or cartilage cancer. Each is treated differently, so until they know for sure which type it is they are going to hold off on treatment. The good news is that should release the stress on her legs. The bad news is the surgery will be about 4-6 hours on Wednesday and there are always the risk of paralyses or bowel problems. They will also try and do a biopsy of her shoulder while she is in the other surgery.
As for the wrist, there isn’t anything there as it was just a shadow… good news. However, that leaves the c2, c3 mass in her spinal cord and the spots on the brain. They are back to thinking that the two are not connected again. Her doctor feels that once they get though the mass in her tail bone and she recovers, they can tackle those issues, perhaps with a biopsy of her brain. He was very positive on the procedure and said that he knows it sound scary, but was reassuring that it’s computerized and very specific and ‘they do this all the time.’ The doctor was also very happy that she seems to be stable at this point, that even though she doesn’t have all her strength, she is not getting worse. He feels the steroids are keeping her stable.

We will see what happens tomorrow, but we are keeping up the faith! Psalms 40:1-2.
