We met with the surgeon today, man can they make things sound bad :) But I like the fact that he knows what he is talking about and that he has cured this before. He is confident that he can with Becca. I also like that he is honest with us. The fact is the time lines are fluid. He is impressed that from what he can see with his eye, the tumor has shrunk some. This is VERY positive because this means it's reacting to the chemo. The goal is to shrink it as much as possible so the surgery is smaller. Apparently this tumor has grown throughout her sacrum, so it's not only in the back, but in the front as well. So, this means they may have to go into her in both sides. He wants to do as much chemo as he can to shrink it. So even if the norm is 11 weeks of chemo and then surgery, he might ask for a few more weeks just to shrink it more. It's frustrating to say the least, but I understand the positive in this.
So where does that leave us, prayer. We need to keep praying that this tumor shrinks and melts away with the chemo... it can happen. Becca is in good spirits and is working extra hard to get better as soon as she can to undergo the surgery. She is doing more for herself and even sat at the kitchen table to eat lunch with us! Keep the faith, the Lord is with us. Thank you all SO much :)
