Port Placement, Bone Marrow Biopsy, CT Scan / Ways to Help

Today was a very long, full day at the hospital for Caroline.

CT Scan Results: showed slight growth in the tumor size from her last scan 3.5 weeks ago; no other disease was identified on today's scan.

Bone Marrow Biopsy: her team is confident they got a good sample for testing; we expect results back early next week.

Port Placement: Caroline had a double-lumen power port surgically placed under her skin, on the upper right side of her body, which will be used for all upcoming treatments and blood work.

The plan is to rest and recover at home this weekend and then begin the new antibody/immunotherapy treatment Monday morning. 

We've so grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers and requests for ways to support our family as we walk this path again...we also really appreciate your patience as we worked through Caroline's treatment options. Now that we have a plan, we've been able to create a list of things that will be the most helpful to our family as we move forward.
