Results from the X-Ray / Abdominal Ultrasound pushed up to today

Yesterday, Dr. Savage walked through the results of the x-ray. It shows that Chantel has another malignant tumour in her chest. This one is 10cm high by 8cm wide (much larger than the one on her neck). The doctor feels that we need to complete some more staging (all this week) and see if it has spread further. All of these results will alter the choices we have for when the baby is delivered and when Chantel should begin to have chemo.

Chantel had the Abdominal Ultrasound completed today. She is getting one other test done on Thursday early in the morning and then we are meeting with her doctor. We are researching information on pregnancy and chemo to better understand the effects on the baby and how difficult it will be for Chantel to have the baby once undergoing chemo.

Chantel and the baby are both doing well. Chantel feels great and the baby is kicking up a storm.

I want to thank everyone once again for your kind words/prayers/thoughts. It has been amazing to see how much support we have received from everyone.
