MRI Update

Hi all. We just wanted to let you know what was going on. Last Friday Jordon had an MRI and chemotherapy. On Tuesday, we got to meet with his doctor to discuss his results. Rosalie got to come with us, which was nice to have a new view, she had some great questions that we never thought to ask.

Jordon's scans looked great. We got to see it this time (not just the written interpretation).  While looking at the views, we couldn't really see much of anything, which prompted Rosalie to explain to the doctor that we all thought the tumor was the size of a pea (that was what one of the doctors told us awhile ago). The doctor looked at the past 4 scans and explained that he never saw that in the scans. He went on to explain that Jordon's tumor was not the size of a pea, in fact, Jordon's tumor isn't really measurable. There is still something there, but it isn't measurable. I know it is vague, but that is GREAT news because Jordon's tumor is smaller than we thought! Because there is still something there, Jordon will continue chemo, but we have a more questions to ask the doctor for next time.

I know, it's only a quick update, but we hope to give you more info soon!
