Still baffled........

Ok so as you all know Jason had a core biopsy done on Friday. Well we received the results today and well they .....we dont know. Basically inconclusive to anything that is causing this stuff in J's hip and tailbone. What it did show was fibrosis, which is basically scar tissue. On one hand this is good news because it didn't show out right cancer. On the other well its not so good because we still dont know what we are dealing with. We do know that fibrosis does not spread, which is what this is doing. So where do we go from here. J is scheduled for another bone marrow aspiration and biopsy they will send it to pathology like before but also to microbiology to delve deeper into the infection side. They will also probably do qn open biopsy which is where they will cut J's back open and see where they want to take the biopsy from.
So now we are really no worse or better than we where before. They decided to change J's pain meds to Methadone, Norco, Lyrica, Dilaudid, and Celebrex. It seems to be doing okay. It will take a day or two to get him to optimal levels.
As for J and I, we are doing okay. We are just anxious about finding out what exactly is going on. The good news is that his tumor markers for testicular cancer are still remaining normal. I dont actually know when we will be able to get out here. Ronan is with my parents apparently having a blast. We got to see him yesterday and that was awesome and we will get to see him tomorrow. If anyone feels like visiting thats cool we are just chilling up here. The number to the room is 7138348797 if anyone wants to call. You can send messages to the room by going to www.mdanderson.org/contact_us click on "Message to a patient" under "Patient, Friends, and Family" Its called Net Notes. Volunteers will deliver the messages to us in our room. Keep praying guys that the doctors will be able to quickly pinpoint whats going on.
