Some great B9 news...

Well, hot damn! Our E-Beth's needle biopsy on her lung came back benign!!! I cannot tell you how thrilled this makes us girls ... not to mention all the rest of her family and pals.
Because the mass is in a precarious locale, doctors have chosen to do surgery to make ABSOLUTELY sure that their biopsy results were crystal clear. WHICH I AM MORE THAN CERTAIN THEY WILL BE. Thus, our girl heads BACK into the hospital on Thursday to have what is referred to as a VATS procedure. It's minimally invasive (if one can refer to surgery on a lung with the term "minimal"). She will then begin more systemic treatment to insure that any iota of The Little Shit is eradicated. We've seen how well her mass on the brain responded to radiation (60% shrinkage). So, she will be doing Ontak, a treatment that she has responded very well to in the past.
So, that's the news. The fabulous news. And she will have us right beside her the whole trek.
Love you EB!
