Not Synovial Sarcoma

September 10, 2004

I received an e-mail this morning from Erin's doctor with confirmation that the cytogenetic tests came back normal, and therefore the pathologists are ruling out synovial sarcoma, like they have ruled out all the other malignant sarcomas. Of course...I suppose they could change their mind before they finalize their report, but I am sticking with this until I hear otherwise.

The docs still don't know what is going on or why, but benign is much better than malignant and no surgery now is better than maybe surgery later.

Erin is scheduled for an MRI in October. Until then we will enjoy dance, soccer, school, and friends. Erin is quite relieved that we have removed surgery from her immediate schedule, and frankly, so are we.
