A bone scan was done yesterday and it was found that to be clean except for the original lesion. The cancer seems to be localized. Also, a bone marrow biopsy was done and it was found to be negative. No malignancy was found there. His bone marrow is healthy.
Upon initial examination in the hospital a small lesion was found on Reuven’s lung. We were told not to worry about that as it was fairly common. We aren’t exactly sure what that means but we are waiting for the results of a biopsy to be performed on it later today. I will report on that as soon as I have the results, either later today or tomorrow.
The news seems basically good. It is a relief to know that the malignancy is localized. We still do not know exactly what type of cancer it is. Hopefully we will by tomorrow. And at that time the course of treatment will be determined as well.
Thank you again to all who have Reuven ben Tova Chaya in your hearts and in your prayers. It means so much to my family.
