11/8 - As we continue the roller coaster of emotions, today was no different. She had an MRI for 2.5 hours today which was fine in the beginning. Then she screamed for the last 45 minutes which was hard to hear. However, we knew how important it was for this to be completed so the team of doctors could get a closer look at the tumor.
The tumor turns to the spinal cord, but is not yet connected, this is a good thing. There is also a small growth on the adrenal gland above the kidney. Tomorrow, the team of doctors will determine which growth to biopsy, how will they perform this biopsy, etc. At some point this week, the biopsy will happen, the cells will be studied, a plan of action will be discussed, and we’ll go from there.
Again, Sawyer continues to surprise us daily with her persistence on beating this. Her strength gives Brent and I such encouragement! Thank you all for your continued support. It’s reassuring and comforting.
