It is 6:30 and we have been home about 30 minutes. It took forever, but well worth the wait with the doctor. Bre doesn't have to have chemo!!! However, she has (here we go with the really long words that I am going to shorten) Stage IC Borderline Mucinous Tumor of Ovary with Atypia. That means....borderline tumor. We are not benign NOR are we malignant.
This is something that they see in middle aged women NOT in teens. He said that her case is so rare that it only around the 20th case they have ever seen. Doctors in Ohio and some other state also looked at her pathology reports. When we arrived for the appointment he said he literally just got the plan together about 2-3 hours before he seen us. (I told everyone she is an oddity) :)
So, what do we do now, you ask? He is keeping very close tabs on her. She will go EVERY month for blood work and EVERY three months for an Ultrasound. We are VERY thankful for these results and know that it could have went way worse. He also said this is why we have to keep a close eye on her because it could change at any moment. They monitor "tumor markers" with the blood taken.
She is in VERY good spirits and thrilled she doesn't have to get a wig. hahaha!
I think I covered it all (scratching my head). Please email or comment if you have any questions.
ALSO, please, continue to keep her and our family in your thoughts and prayers as to this is NOT the only issues we face in our near future.
First off...WE THANK GOD
Second...WE LOVE EACH AND EVERY PERSON WHO HAS HELPED CARRY US THROUGH THIS FAR!
With great appreciation and love,
Mark, Renee, Jordan, & Bre
JAMES 1:2-4
