Swedish Neuroscience Institute


Can you imagine these guys saying
"We are going to build a relationship".

Dr. Douglas Backous was great.
We learned alot from him today but
Chad's case is going to be discussed Monday
at the Tumor Board.

I guess that is where all the brain guys get together
every Monday and discuss tumor cases and come up
with a plan on how to best take care of each patients tumor (s).

Chad has two, one small and one large.
They are on either side of his brain near his ears.

Chad was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 2.

This is a genetic disorder so our other kids will have to be tested.

We don't know exactly when this is going to happen.

Tough day.

So sorry - now it is a "hurry up and wait" situation. I know it will seem like forever before Monday arrives and you hear news of the next step. I will continue to check your blog and pray for the best possible scenario. Thinking of you all. Love, Auntie Donna
