We learned yesterday that there is more tumor remaining than initially though. There is a 3cm size still in her head as well as a 1cm in one of her lymph nodes. Given this info and the stage 4 diagnosis, the chemotherapy that will be used to kill these tumors and cancer cells will be very strong.
As we embark on this next phase of care for Olivia there will be other restrictions that we have to consider.
Many people have asked about a meal train or bringing food to us however there are food restrictions that we have to consider to keep her safe. We have to respectfully decline any meals and treats at this time.
We also ask that no cut flowers are sent/delivered to her. It was explained to us that as the flowers die, the particles can be unhealthy for her and could potentially cause infection.
While we appreciate the kind gestures, I know you will all join us in doing whatever it takes to keep her as healthy as possible.
