Today we met with our surgeon to cover off the results of the surgery, ongoing treatment recommendations and to answer any questions we might have. Here is the low down:
- 5% chance of metastasizing
- 5% chance of recurrence
- check up including MRI every 3 months ongoing monitoring
- She will need a "fresh" or "clean" MRI in January (2-3 months post-op) to map all future MRIs against.
- We will be going for Genetic Testing to see if she has any genetic predisposition for this (given my family history of mom=non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and dad=colon cancer).
We had a big scare a few days prior to this appointment when we discovered a very large lump in her mouth. Thankfully it ended up being an "abruption cyst" and totally unrelated to her condition. Thank God.
A great gift this Christmas. We were given the gift of our health and our happiness. Her tumor was removed with clear margins and in the New Year, her schedule for monitoring begins. A fresh new year to look forward to.
