Surgery Called Off For Now

The surgery scheduled for the 10th has been called off. Unfortunately, the CT scan taken today has shown a small amount of growth in Elle's tumor. While it is still far below the size it was originally in March, the surgeon feels that with the growth, surgery wouldn't be the right thing to do.


So the next step is to meet with her doctors and figure out a new avenue of treatment. There are still different chemo regimens to try and other treatments altogether. We are, by no means, beaten. This is just a setback on the road to recovery. Elle is still full of energy and fire and she IS going to beat this. It's just going to take a little longer.

I'm in awe, not just of Elle, but all of you. You are all so strong, so brave. Thinking of you and sending all the love and light and positive energy that I can.
