Great news…
Met with Dr. Aizenberg today to get sutures out and received some great news...
THEY GOT WHOLE TUMOR!!!! TOTAL RESECTION!!! Pathology determined what they initially thought to be small piece of tumor actually was brain swelling
So many emotions are running through me I'm shaking!!
This doesn't mean I'm cancer free...there are cancer cells still left which we need to kill with radiation. But this is a huge step in the right direction
To think...this went from being in-operable to TOTAL RESECTION...I'm speechless...
To the amazing and talented Dr. Aizenberg, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!
