Welcome to our New Blog

Welcome to our new blog! Since June when Britt was diagnosed with Breast Cancer we have received great support from so many of our family and friends, and we know you have all wanted regular updates as to what is going on with her and our family through this. We have decided to create a blog that we will update regularly to provide information on both the medical and personal side of this challenge. This week Britt met with Dr. Stockdale at the Stanford Cancer Center for a consultation, and second opinion. He was also able to read the results of her latest MRI and PET scan. Unfortunately they have found other areas of concern on both, including two areas in her left breast (consistent with previous information), several of the lymph nodes (again consistent with previous information) under her left arm, and a potential area in her right breast (new). This means she will have to undergo another set of Biopsies to determine if these areas are indeed cancerous as well. As of today we are awaiting the scheduling of this, although we anticipate it happening next week. I think the hardest part is the fact that since late May we have been on the diagnostic trail, and haven't been able to move to the treatment trail, there is some satisfaction to having a course of action and moving towards that, and unfortunately we can't do that until we have all of the information. We'll keep you posted.
