Another biopsy?

Well its been a while since I've posted about Lenora. Not a whole lot has happened since I posted but there is potential change coming up in the near future. Lenora is doing well. She's been waiting around in Health Sciences for the last two weeks while doctors took blood tests, MRI's, etc. She took steroid treatments to get rid of the lesion in her neck, but a follow-up MRI revealed the lesion didn't disappear as expected and possibly got just a bit larger instead. One of Lenora's doctors mentioned a week ago that they wanted to do another biopsy on Lenora sometime. They have scheduled to do this on Friday but are waiting for our go-ahead. We do not want this done if there is an alternative. The plan is to take a sample of brain tissue and see if that reveals anything. Giving the lack of results from the other 2 biopsy's and also how much they set Lenora back, the whole family is dreading this ordeal.  Please pray for an alternative so Lenora won't need to undergo this surgery.

  2. Thanks for updating - I sure missed hearing anything. Glad to hear she's doing well, but will pray she doesn't have to do another biopsy. Any idea yet when she's coming home? You all are in my thoughts and prayers continually! Blessings to you all.
