Kristy and Michael met with the doctors today to discuss Michaels tumor. The surgery did not get all of the tumor and they found out why today. The remaining tumor is about one inch in size and on a critical part of the brain. If they remove it it will cause permanent damage.
The doctors say the tumor is growing fast. They want Michael to start radiation if the radiologist thinks he can do it without causing other damage. If he can't do radiology then Michael will start chemotherapy immediately. They need a treatment started this week because of the rapid growth of the tumor. The treatment, whether radiation or chemo, will be back here in st. Louis because of the length of time required for both treatments.
Michael and Kristy are on their way home now and should be here late tonight. They will return to Duke Hospital in 8 weeks to check his progress on whatever treatment Michael starts.
