They finished the biopsy about 12:40 PM. The doctor says it is osteosarcoma.
As of now the doctor doesn't think she has a "skip lesion" but he will be more certain after talking with the pathologist later. The bone scan and CT scan appear clear, but they will know for certain after the final readings are done. This is very good news for her prognosis.
She will have 3 months of chemotherapy. Then the surgery, and then more chemotherapy after that. The doctor feels very good about Christen, that she will be fine.
They are putting the broviac in now.
Christen should be in her room within a couple of hours.

Thank you, Lord Jesus!
That is good news that there doesn't seem to be a skip lesion!
I read Psalm 18 last night and was amazed by the zeal of the Lord to save His beloved ones. Read it and remember that it is for you that He rides of a cherub, flies, comes swiftly on the wings of the wind, thunders from heaven, sends for His arrows.... He is mighty to save.
I am so thankful for some good news and know you can now feel some relief. I am praying for you all.
Dear Steve, Debbie, Christen,and family, praise God for his loving care, an healing touch. We love you and are praying for you all. Love always, Uncle Tom, and Aunt Sue
Praise God for answering our prayers concerning the spread of the cancer! We look forward to seeing a healthy Christen!
Praising the Lord along with you at how He has gone before you and prepared the way. Praise Him for a good surgeon, nurses and others who are caring for Christen. We will continue to lift you before the Father - who knows exactly what to do. He is more than able. Love and prayers - John and Sue Burch
We are rejoicing with you in the good news and will continue to pray. The Lord is definitely moving in our midst. Praise God for His watchful eye over all His creation.
