MGH ED: Admitted · Kyle Faget
Tracy's leg started swelling up today and the pain got considerably worse. The oncologist recommended that Tracy be taken to the ED. Tracy is being admitted. It sounds like an MRI is in her future.
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.
