Yesterday's Appointment

Brennan spoke with Julie last night, and apparently there's still no conclusion as to the orginating source. Also, he mentioned that the growth on Mom's neck (which she refers to as Henry) is not cancerous. This is confusing to me. Can someone with info post an explanation?

Thanks!

Hey there everyone...
I was down in Va Beach yesterday, and from what I understand, the biopsy they got from the tumor, Henry, did not show any cancer cells, although, the MD feels as if there is still more information to be found... Eileen went in for a CTSCAN of her Chest today to see where the nodules or "spots" are exactly located, and then they are going to determine from there how the best way is to obtain a biopsy from those "spots". The hope is to obtain a biopsy from those areas to correctly identify the cancer so they choose the correct drug. I hope this is helpful... I also know it is frustrating that we do not have any definite answers, yet i believe first that no bad news is good news, and although no identification has been determined, that does not mean we are not making progress.
