Update on Claire

Just a quick update.

We got the news last night that the mass on Claire's x-ray is not in her lungs.

*deep, deep sigh of relief*

She has what is called a teratoma. About 85-90% of these are benign. However, it has to come out.

Claire has struggled her whole life with severe phobias about doctor related things. It takes xanax and a couple of days to prepare for a blood test, so this is obviously really overwhelming for her. Although I am thrilled at the news that it isn't lung involved, she's way too stressed about the idea of an operation to really feel relief at this point.

I'll keep you posted.
