(Fluid) Ounces of Prevention

1/16/2017

 
As mentioned in prior threads, the tumor that showed up in Madison’s lung is actually a good thing. Part of the Clinical Trial inclusion criteria is there must a measurable lesion. We knew the surrounding area was extremely unhappy, but only recently did a lesion form. (Congratulations Madi… you have a lung tumor!) If for example we get a splinter, our body says oh-hell-no… we’re going to form a blister and push that bugger out.

Today Madi had fluid some fluid drained from her chest, her body saying oh-hell-no!! Given her variation of this disease is so rare, her cancer cells are as rare as moon dust. Collaborating with research coordinators at the CF's biobank Madi donated the several ounces fluid to cancer researchers. Our understanding is they may actually transfer the cancer cells from Madison’s fluid in to a zebra fish a mouse.  

What's next? We plan on traveling to San Francisco 1/17 for a few days, and again the 24th. Other that that and being there twice a month... not whole lot planed besides MRIs, CAT Scans and blood-work, Oh my!
