We met with the Oncologist yesterday to discuss the brain MRI and P.E.T. scan. It now appears that we may in fact be dealing with pancreatic cancer not lung cancer. This did not show up in the CT scan, but seems prevalent in the P.E.T. scan. The mass seen in her lungs on the CT scan was actually swollen lymph nodes. The brain MRI showed some areas of concern in the base of her brain at the spinal interface and one spot in her front right lobe.

Our next step is the initial consultation meeting with the Dr. performing the biopsy on Tuesday. We are still hoping for quick biopsy after this meeting so that we know what we are dealing with and start a targeted treatment for the cancer. We will be sending the data to Mayo as soon as it is available in hopes of getting an appointment in Jacksonville to take advantage of their expertise.

The Oncologist will be referring Liz to a Radiologist to go after the two areas of her brain, as needed.

We are back to not knowing more that we know at this point......
