Ema had her biopsy yesterday, and I spoke with her orthopedic oncologist right after the operation. He said he is 95% - 99% sure that the bone he extracted was just that - bone, not tumor. We will make an appointment for two weeks from now so we can get the lab results, although I suspect his office will call us sooner if the news is anything other than good.
In order to take the bone biopsy the surgeon had to "re-use" the flap (skin graph), entering from her previous surgery site. She has a pressure bandage on, and there will be some discomfort, but the surgery itself was minimally invasive.
Next week - another chest CT scan! The fun just never seems to stop around here :)
Stay tuned. . .
