Good news: we found the enemy. The PET scan yesterday showed that the growth in the C6 vertebra is isolated! This is very unusual. The neurologist said that she’s NEVER seen a situation like mine before. Most of the time a growth in the neck is secondary, and the primary problem is elsewhere. We’ll take the big win. Thank you, Jesus!
Next up: getting an biopsy of that actual mass. That is a full-on lights out surgery where they guide the needle by MRI to carefully remove what they need. Then we’ll get a treatment plan.
