On Tuesday mom went in for her MRI on her breasts. She told the staff about her brain surgery, so they took an x-ray to make sure she was in good condition to have the MRI. To our surprise, the x-ray showed 6 or 7 metal clamps inside from surgery. Dr. Spetzler did not mention that she would have these left in her head, but they are most likely to hold together the incision. The office told mom because of the metal, she cannot have MRIs done. We were worried about what other way can they could test her. The doctor got back to mom and scheduled her for a mammogram with an ultrasound, in place of the MRI. Mom contacted the office that is taking care of the PET scan and they ensured her that the metal does not effect this test, so she will have that procedure done today.
Next Tuesday she will meet with Dr. Zafar, the oncologist, and hopefully get the results. Pray for cancer-free ta-tas! :)

On October 9th, 2008, our beloved Jacqueline was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although devastated at first, we knew she would be a survivor and we were all here for her every step of the way! On March 14th, 2009, Jacqueline was diagnosed with a brain AVM which was removed through brain surgery on June 8th. It was a tough recovery, but she inspired us all with her courage and strength.
