Osteosarcoma

This is an update on how Rebecca's illness is progressing. She is under the care of the Oncology department in UCLH London and finished her chemo st the beginning of December. She was due to pay her first visit to Ireland since becoming ill in 2005 but on the evening of December 11th she was admitted to her local hospital due to a high temperature and so had to cancel her trip. however she hopes to make it over on January 9th for a weekend in Donegal.
Yesterday, 29th December, we were at clinic at UCLH to get the results of a biopsy carried out on December 17th and her other post-chemo results.
Unfortunately some live cancer cells were found in her sacrum and her L4.
A calcified spot was found on her right lung which confirmed the presence of cancer there.
She was due to undergo surgery in January to remove her sacrum but the presence of live cancer cells has led to the cancellation of that.
Instead she will begin radiotherapy after her return from Ireland for about six weeks.
Thats about it for the moment. When you finish reading this say a prayer for her, thanks.
