Round Four Win.... Goes to Jason.

Okay so good news or bad news first? Always start with the good, it can distract you from the bad. The good news, the tumor and subsequent bone they took out pathology came back and the bone and muscle pieces had clear margins! He is walking a bit better but is still on crutches for a while. And now for the bad news. The pathology came back as leiomyosarmcoma. This is a cancer that arises out of smooth muscles, it can happen to anyone but Jason's is related to his prior radiation to the area. His earlier cancer was germ cell based and those cells are considered very primitive and can form into any number of things if they feel like it. These choose to turn into smooth muscle cells and cause us some problems. It is a low grade malignancy and we caught it very early. Fingers cross that the only treatment he needed to receive was the surgery. As of now no chemo is expected to be had. We are back to going every three months for scans for this. So this is round number four of cancer for us, we've had worse news. Jason is in good spirits, he says round four went to him! I'm okay, always the worrier. We also took Ronan to see a neurologist and got some questions answered about our ball of awesome, but that post is for another day when I don't have to be up at 3 to get ready for work! I'll post more tomorrow about Roo. Hope everyone has a fantastic valentines day! Remember valentine is not just about romantic love, it is about friendship and loyalty. All of you guys reading this are our valentines! Love you all for the support y'all give. Prayers welcomed~Kimmy
