After lunch Madison met with a radiation oncologist. We knew radiation wouldn't be curative, but it can be an un-intrusive solution to reducing her pain levels, and ultimately reduce the drug regiment.
Love, hope, and faith...

This morning Madison met with a thoracic surgeon at UCLA. We knew that surgery wouldn't be curative but UCLA chordoma experts suggested a consult to determine whether something could be done surgically to help ease the pain. The thoracic surgeon was great, already very familiar with Madi's case before even meeting her. We knew going in to the consult that surgery was unlikely. The surgeon explained that first step should be controlling the disease (hope and faith with the treatment plan), and then evaluate whether something that can be or needs to be done after that.
