Tuesday the 13th

A good day (finally)! The MRI showed the tumor in her brain is shrinking (we don't know how much yet) and no new tumors are growing. This is great great news.

Also, Tia had the CT-guided biopsy of her lung and made it through with only minor complications. She has a small air leak in her left lung and they are watching her in recovery at the moment. They do not think this will be an issue.

We will not know the results of the biopsy for 24-48 hours.

I watched the procedure and was mostly watching Tia's face and her blood pressure (no, it wasn't that I was afraid of fainting if I watched the biopsy and I will explain the procedure in detail later). She didn't appear to be in any pain throughout (that is why I was watching her face) and her blood pressure dropped at one point but was fine at the end.

She is resting in recovery and we go on to fight again tomorrow. She still doesn't want visitors but that (hopefully) will change soon.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts

Jess and the girls
