Morgan had a busy day today. We headed to Children's first thing in the morning to get bloodwork done. After that, we went to VGH to meet with the surgeon who will be performing Morgan's surgery.
We were told that they will be removing her entire collar bone and possibly her top rib as well as a bit of her sternum. Hopefully that will remove all of the cancer cells. They will then test the bone removed and if there is any live cancer cells they feel they have missed, she will then need radiation. The surgeon is quite confident that he can remove it all to try to avoid having the radiation as that can cause long term effects.
We then went back to Children's to meet with Morgan's oncologist. All went well and her blood counts are bottoming out as expected. We will need to get additional blood work on Monday to see if she will need a blood transfusion.
