We got the results of the biopsy this morning.

It is a grade 2 glioma.

Not exactly what we were hoping for, but not as bad as it could be.

It's not benign, but it doesn't appear to be too aggressive, either. For now, since it's at a 2, they are going to hold off on chemotherapy and/or radiation...hoping the surgery is all that will be needed as far as treatment goes. They will continue to monitor it very closely. The not so great part of this, is that surgery alone rarely gets all the tumor cells, and regrowth is common, which then becomes a higher grade, requiring further, more aggressive treatment.

So....the plan for now remains. MRI's frequently, monitoring of any symptoms, physical, occupational and speech therapy. Doctors also want her to see a neurologist. We see the surgeon on Monday, and will hopefully have some of this lined up.

With that being said....please continue to keep her in your prayers. Pray that the tumor cells do not regrow or mutate into a higher grade. Pray for her headaches and dizziness that she's still getting daily. And pray for the rest of us as we maneuver our way through hard and unfamiliar territory. Thanks.  

Here is a link that describes the gliomas.
