We have just returned back from the hospital. The doctor advised us that the biopsy failed to get any of the cancer cells from the area of the bone they selected. This means Mum needs to have another biopsy to get a better sample and the cancer within her bones is undiagnosed. They are going to schedule a full body CT to select the best place for another biopsy.
The good news is they have actually ruled out myeloma. The tests they have just got back have concluded Mum has the precondition to myeloma, which may or may not turn into myeloma in the future. The Dr said about 10% of people with this precondition contract myeloma so that is off the table now (it is not a concern and there is no treatment required).
So, we know that Mum only has one type of cancer (yay) but we do not know which type yet (boo). We are considering shunning mainstream medicine and seeking out witchdoctors who may have a little more insight at this point. Until then, the CT will be in the next 2 weeks and the results are expected on 7 October.
In the meantime, please continue focusing your good vibes and prayers this way.
