Well - STILL no MRI results. At this point we don't even know if they are available. Nathan's doctor said he would watch for the results from home and call us with them, but it has been 3 days since the scan now so surely the report is in. I supposed we will call the office today and see if the other doctor could get the report for us.
I will update if we get some results.
**************************************************
Ok - well we have results and they are good news/bad news.
The good news is that his left hip was most certainly the fluid - not cancer. The bad news is they saw a "spot" on his right pelvis. This spot could be anything - but with Nathan's history they feel the need to look into it further. They feel they cannot accurately biopsy the spot itself and so they will do a bone marrow biopsy. The doctor feels that if that spot is caused by cancer the bone marrow in the right hip would certainly be involved. If the bone marrow is normal we will assume the spot is something else.
They are trying to get the bone marrow biopsy done on Tuesday.
So - the roller coaster continues.....

(Luke 3/24 1:30 PM MST) I don't have any news to add. We will be dealing with the same uncertainty throughout the weekend. Bone marrows will be performed on Tuesday. I just really wanted to thank everyone for their continued support. We have received so many wonderful guestbook entries, emails, phone calls, and cards. Your support is very appreciated and important to our family. Thank you.
