Monday Afternoon - Good News (or at least something positive in what seems like a sea of negatives)

We just received a phone call from the Doctor's office. She had the scan results from Friday's CT and Bone Scans. They show that the tumor has NOT spread beyond the head and neck. This is absolutely GREAT news and the start of a miraculous showing! It truly was NOT what we expected.

We are still waiting on results of the biopsy for an official diagnosis however the Doctor has enough information now to start planning therapy. We are scheduled for a PET Scan on Wednesday- Cut and paste http://www.radiologyinfo.org/content/petomography.htm into your browser for more info.

In addition the Doctor has requested surgery time as soon as possible to put in a central line (a permanent access IV line sewn into a main vein) and to harvest bone marrow. Assuming the bioposy results come back consistent with the "preliminary results" that the Doctor got today, she will want to start her planned therapy immediately.

PLEASE continue to pray for a miracle. If it is in God's Will, this CAN have some positive outcomes!
