On Monday my daughter Jessica had an MRI which revealed a tumor on her brain stem. Yesterday we met with a neuro surgeon and neuro oncologist at he Dana Faber Institute in Boston. They believe, even though it is in the brain stem, they have an angle of approach that will allow them to do a computer image controlled needle biopsy. While not without risks, they feel it will be worthwhile to confirm their belief that it is a grade 2 glioma and aid them in coming up with the proper treatment, most likely radiation. We await a call from them on Monday for the date of the biopsy which will be done at the Brigham and Women's hospital.
Jess is a very strong and positive person, with a large circle of friends. We have been very blessed with the support they have shown! Please keep her in your thought and prayers!
