Re: Mandible Tumor - 8 year old male?

Ben and I very much appreciate all your thoughts and well wishes. Sadly, the news I received today was not good - the radiology report echoed what the neuro said. My boy has cancer.

We have an appointment this coming monday with an oncologist to see what the next steps are, and what we're up against.
I am sorry that you are going through this. My only recommendation would be not to biopsy the tumor. If you are having the tumor removed the biopsy can be done after. Often with a biopsy it can cause the cancer to grow faster and spread faster. Keep us posted.
