Inconclusively Positive?

This week Lucy spent a morning at her comprehensive check-up.  Greeted cheerfully by name, she saw her nurses, psychologists, endocrinologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists and neuro-oncologists all in one office.  Aflac Cancer Center has made all the difference in our experience of this disease.  She left with a big hug from her primary physician, the wonderful Anna Janss.
When all of these people, with the addition of her neurosurgeons, sat down to discuss the latest MRI, they came to the usual conclusion:  let's see what the next one looks like.  There is a cyst present that seems larger, but because it is not the same shape as the tumor cyst, several doctors on her "tumor board"suspect that she may actually have fluid buildup from surgery and not from growing cells.  As has been the case for 4 years, she will have another scan in 3 months, and we will go from there.
Lucy is thinking of the present moment however-- she can't wait for her Christmas week to start Monday full of grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles! And treats and fun! And maybe those gold sparkle boots from Santa!
