Save Jace

We were scheduled to go in for regular round 5 chemotherapy on Monday, however the Oncologist called us and they want to do another MRI that morning instead.  He has been talking to MDAnderson and the head of the study Jace is on in Germany and they all agree with this decision.

The neurologist will look over the MRI and we have an appointment for him to see Jace Tuesday afternoon.  We will then discuss the plan to go ahead with another brain surgery to remove the rest of the tumor that is in his brain.

The Drs want to remove the mass so that the chemotherapy can focus more onthe cancer cells than shrinking the mass.  We’re not sure even sure what it looks like since last month the MRI results were so drastically wonderful.

But they do want to check.  If Jace is a candidate for surgery again, they will schedule it Tuesday and we will let everyone know.  If they dont go ahead with surgery then we will start round 5 chemo on Wednesday as scheduled.

Though we stand behind our Dr 100%, and we know that Jace will recover great from yet another brain surgery, my secret hope is that the tumor has shrunk so much that they dont need to go in there again and we just proceed as is.  Either way, we want what is best for him and do whatever they say.

I’ll let you know more later next week.
Have a great weekend.
Jamie
