<p>In one of Mom’s early post-op MRI’s, the doctors saw another small mass elsewhere in her brain. Could have been a fatty deposit, calcium deposit, or… another tumor. If it was another tumor, that bodes really badly as, obviously, the cancer is spreading.</p>
<p>We just received confirmation that it is in fact another tumor. This one is located right behind her eye so while it’ll be hit by the chemo and they’ll figure out a radiation plan, there is no chance they’ll go in to remove it and the radiation does run the risk of blinding her in the one eye.</p>
<p>This is also a huge blow to the treatment plan as it’s common to have multiple craniotomys to reduce the mass of a tumor. With her cancer already metastasizing, I don’t think they’ll do that.</p>
<p>As this is already a terminal condition, it really can’t get much worse, but it just keeps on coming. Can we get a break at some point? Really, anything positive would be nice. From the beginning, we’ve just been told worse and worse and worse news.</p>
