So, dear friends, things did not proceed as planned today. The doctor went in to remove one tumor, but found several others throughout the area. They were all biopsied. Because this represents a whole different picture than anticipated, the original detected tumor was not removed. We are kind of back to square one, a different square one. This is a very rare cancer is all we know. Our surgeon mentioned a consult at Sloan Kettering, but that will await biopsy results and more pondering by the Lahey team. We are sorry to be so unclear, but this story should unfold as we get more information.

Thank you for checking in and for all your support.
