biopsy results

Greetings All,

We received word today from the doctor's office that the growth removed from Nathan's right lung was the Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer. This was not the news we wanted to hear. We have an appointment with Nathan's oncologist on Monday to discuss the findings and plan for the strategy ahead. We don't know what kind of treatment plan this will mean if any. Hopefully they will say that with the removal of this growth, they were able to get all the cancer and we will just have to keep a close eye on the lung area for awhile. We will know more after our appointment on Monday. Needless to say this is a disappointment. Being two and a half years post treatment, we were starting to feel as though we had this thing licked. Hopefully this was just a single occurrence and no more tumors will start to grow. Cancer is so unpredictable and seems to have a mind of its own which adds to the stress of living with this monster. The doctor still gives us hope that this cancer is curable. We know we are all in God's hands. Keep Nathan and us in your prayers as I am sure you are already. Blessings to you all,

Tim, Carol and Nathan
