Saturday PM

Rebecca and I have had a restful day with a much slower pace as there were fewer visitors today (don’t shy away for long…fewer visitors was the doctor’s orders). Her upper body is still getting weaker. The doctors are trying to identify all the problems and get a solid game-plan together before they aggressively attack all the tumors throughout her body. She is feeling nauseated from the pain meds and the steriods are making her restless and she hasn’t been able to sleep as well.

Although some of her symptoms continue to worsen, her spirit is still high and she is anxious to start treatment.

We have had incredible outpouring of support and prayers from so many. We are truly overwhelmed with gratitude and wish to thank everyone.

Saturday AM

This morning Becca is in a bit of pain. It is from the mass in her tail bone. They are giving her some pain medication and still giving her the steroids. The doctors feel that Monday will be the big day for her. The results from the biopsy will be back and that should tell us what type of cancer it is. They believe it to be some type of bone cancer. They were going to take her to the ICU a few minutes ago. The pressure on her chest could keep her from breathing right so they wanted to keep a closer eye on her. If they need to incubate they could a lot easier. However, they have decided to keep her where she is. She is just resting now. Wednesday is still the date for the surgery and shoulder biopsy.

The status for now is Rebecca just had a spinal tap. She is now in a MRI again to see the progress change. They will compare the previous pictures to the new ones to determine why it is progressing so quickly.

The Doctors feel it is either Chondro Sarcoma or Cordoma, but they still are not sure. The tests have not come in yet for the biopsy, but she has a huge team of Doctors across the board looking into it.

We aren’t sure if they are going to start some type of treatment yet, however they state everything they have seen up until this point is treatable. For now we are still waiting to see what comes back and how progressed it has become. She can’t walk around the complex now like she could before and is weak all over. Becca states that her whole body feels like it has sand paper grinding on her as the numbness has taken over.

I will post more as it becomes available….keep up the prayers, we will see a miracle.
