Hoping for Surgery

Well its time for a new update..
Since i last updated Thomas has had several CT scans done, He had a chest scan done and they found a little nodule in his chest area, they said it was so tiny that it wasnt anything to worry about, They also wanted him to get a CT scan of his legs since they will be using the bone and vessels in his legs, and they also wanted him to get a PET CT (full body) scan. He had the Chest Scan done on Monday, the leg scan wednesday, and the Full body scan today (Friday the 15th) We also met with the Reconstructive Surgeon on thursday, He was a very nice doctor! We dont have any answers from the CT scans yet, other than the chest scan, we should know the results of the scans on Monday or Tuesday. If it has spread into the body then there is a possibility that they will put off surgery, so were hoping that doesnt happen, his tumor groes everyday and it has pushed a tooth about a half out from all his other teeth, he said its very bothersome. We hope to know more soon!


As you can tell, the tumor is bigger since the last picture posted last week, and look at how much further the tooth is pushed out since last week, and the coloring of the tumor and the tooth is completely different!
