Well we went to the doctor on Monday to get the results of the scans. All is good no other places seem to have the cancer. It hasn't spread. The dr is not sure how to continue at this point cause the cancer isn't following the same pattern it normally does. In fact she stated it was odd. So the new joke is Paula is an oddball that is the dr's diagnoses. Of course the dr never said that but well we can put a good spin on it. They are looking at two different types of treatment the first and most likely is an oral chemo pill that can break the blood brain barrier and the second is traditional chemo that may or may not break the the barrier. the dr is sending it up to the tumor board. The tumor baord is a group of dr's mostly the heads of each department including the research department and the discuss "odd" cases and what the best treatment will most likelyu be for it to respond. They were not sure when they would be able to get her file in front of the board but would do so as soon as possible.
While we have been waiting for the results we have had some serious ups and downs and have recieved more support than we probably deserve, but thank you to all. We also have been looking at alternate treatment programs which has been kind of weird to see some of these treatments. It is kind of nice to see what options are out there.
But for now we have awesome good news and feel like we can start back into semi-normal life.

That is good it hasn't spread. Hopefully that means the treatment will make it go away completely. We are keeping you guys in our prayers.
