Sorry for the Absence

As many of you have asked privately and suggested, yes there have been a few issues recently. But most of all is one that just kind of hit me like a big brick.

We had scans again last week (Tuesday and Friday). Mommy and Rebekah are at clinic right now getting some of the readings. There is something showing in the field where she received radiation but not in the area of the original tumor. That is odd and right now they can't exactly explain it nor do they have an idea what it is. Secondary tumors from the radiation usually occur 8-10 years out... They are trying to tell Mommy that we will "just keep an eye on it and look again in 3 months." Obviously we are not at all happy with that answer and are pushing hard to get a better answer even if that requires more aggressive testing right now.

Update 7:00pm PST. Mommy is home and apparently it did not take much pushing to have the doctors start to work on scheduling a PET scan that may be more definitive. We actually were kind of hoping they would resist a little harder. It's hard to say but their willingness to go right there might in itself be bad news. What we are trying to focus on right now is "It is not good news, but we don't know for sure if its bad news until we get more news."

Yet again the other problems in the past 10 days or so seem a little mild right now. Prayers please.
