Everything went great for Sue's biopsy on Thursday. Recovery went well and she was teaching the next day. They were able to biopsy the pancreas and the lymph nodes adjacent to the lung tumor in order to see the full picture. We will find out everything on Monday.
There are basically three scenarios as an outcome of the biopsy.
1. If the pancreas & lymph nodes have cancer, they will likely start chemo right away.
2. If there is no cancer in the pancreas & lymph nodes, surgery will be scheduled to remove the tumor.
3. If there is no cancer in the pancreas, but the lymph node has cancer, the oncologist will determine the road map and Sue will gain a second opinion here in the Bay Area next week.
Please pray for scenario two. Pray that Sue is in full recovery this time next month.
In HIM Always,
Matt
