Good day today. Morgan is up and moving around a lot more today. She is still in pain and that will of course, take time, but she is feeling much better.
They removed her drainage tubes from her back this morning. It was quite a painful procedure and she is happy it is over and done with. She has been taken off of iv fluids and was told that she will be able to come home tomorrow. We were so pleased to hear that.
This afternoon we got the most amazing news. The results of the pathology from the bones and tumor removed. The tumor removed was completely dead already! Which in turn means that there is no live cancer remaining in her at this point. This means that she will not need radiation!
We are so relieved and overjoyed as having radiation would mean further risks of cancer and illness in the future. The surgeon said that the tissue surrounding the tumor was cancer free as well. This is all great news and we are so happy.
Now Morgan will take the time she needs to heal while being monitored by her oncology team. Then, when they feel she is strong enough, they will continue with the chemotherapy regimen. If all goes well, Morgan could be done her treatment as early as December. Today was a good day for us all.
