Pathology Update!
Just got off the phone with Dr. Pyne. The pathology report on Nikki’s leg came back today, and they have identified the tumor as a mid-grade Osteoblastic Osteosarcoma. Because the tumor is mid-grade, and because we caught it very early, we’re all very hopeful that the worst is behind us.
Dr. Pyne is going to send the results over to Dr. Friedly so he can determine if he wants to modify anything on the treatment plan. I suspect that this won’t change anything though.
From our perspective, this is good news! It’s not a giant-cell OSA, nor is it as aggressive as we were all thinking…
WOO!

I’m so glad to hear the ‘kinda’ good news… I really hope that Nikki’s tumor was caught early enough and she has a great chance at surviving a long, long time!
