Renee and I met with Dr. O, to get the results of her scans. The MRI showed no tumors in her head (praise the Lord). The CAT scan did not reveal any other tumors, and did show the enlarged spleen, along with some slightly enlarged lymph nodes near the spleen. (the spleen is the largest lymph node)
Dr. O thought that Renee probably had a spleenic cancer(cancer of the spleen), and that we would remove the spleen, and treat the lymphoma with a drug called rituxan.
However, the bone sample and a new blood sample was being sent to the Mayo clinic, to get a more specific answer to the type of lymphoma.
Feeling somewhat relieved, we visited my mom and dad that weekend. Our friend, Diane B., let our church family know about Renee's condition.
