Preliminary Diagnosis · Kyle Faget

-
We were visited by a team of oncologists today. The pathologist has concluded that Tracy has non-small cell lung carcinoma. Which type of NSCLC she has is yet to be determined, but the pathologist believes, based on the cell morphology observed under the microscope, that Tracy is dealing with adenocarcinoma. We won't know the type for sure for a few more days.

Hospice Update

-
It’s Kyle writing.  Tracy had a series of seizures on Saturday.  She was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital.  Scans suggested that Tracy has leptomeningal disease, which means the cancer is in her cerebral spinal fluid.  She also has lesions in her frontal lobe, temporal lobe, and cerebellum.  The leptomeningal disease is the real issue, though.  The steps that could be taken to contain the cancer did not present quality of life for Tracy, and she continues to have seizures.  The decision was made to move her to hospice today.  Rest assured Tracy is being kept comfortable and surrounded by so much love.

Passing
