  • Speedy Update

    This'll be a very brief post--it's late, and I'm tired, but I wanted to let everyone know about my appointment with Dr. Benjamin this afternoon.

    Unfortunately, the lymph node biopsy came back positive for osteosarcoma.  I'll get into the details in a post tomorrow, but basically that signifies the need for more chemotherapy before surgery.  Dr. B is still deciding between two chemo regiments, which I'll outline later, but both will require me to at least start treatment down here in Houston.

    Mom and I are flying home tomorrow, and we'll use the next few days to figure out the logistics for the start of Steph vs. Cancer Round #5.  I'll get on here and elaborate tomorrow evening on what we know.  Thanks so much to all of you who have sent words of encouragement, prayers, etc.  You are appreciated more than you know!
