Just got the call
I can breathe.
"No news is good news"
Its not something you say to a mama who's been told
Her child has a 50% chance of having cancer.
Its not that type of situation.
I appreciate the positive comments
But I was feeling like I was losing my child
And myself before even being told the news.
But thank you.
Thank you for the comments
The sweet words and prayers.
It means more than you will ever know.
After spending every day sweet talking the nurse
I finally lashed out.
When you're told
50% chance
You need good or bad news
NOW.
I firmly and aggressively
Told the front desk
That I need a call.
Even if it was a call to say
"Hi..I got your message"
That's all I want.
I'm losing my mind.
Physically and mentally falling apart.
Roll your eyes
But until you've been there
You haven't a clue.
So the surgeon called me himself.
apologized for not calling soon enough.
Its complicated.
She JUST had surgery so the inflammation
Swelling and all that jazz is throwing them off.
But he spoke to the radiologist and they both feel
That it looks to be a
Neurofibroma
Which is a rare calcified tumor
That begins in the nerves.
Because she JUST had surgery
He wants to wait 4 weeks to perform surgery
To remove it.
These tumors grow back so
She will be looking at more surgery in the future.
In 4 weeks the swelling should have subsided enough for him
To see what's going on.
Most likely he will remove the center of it which
He stated was quite large
As well as surrounding tissue.
Also the tumor has now become part of her skin
So he will need to remove quite a bit of the
Skin and she will get either skin grafts or skin flaps depending
On how much is removed.
In two weeks we will have a preop and discuss different surgical options
As well as what the future holds.
I'm just sooooo glad its not as drastic as it could have been.
She is a brave girl and she is going to
Get through this like a champ.
I feel like a huge weight is lifted.
Thank you all again!
