Saw Dr. McLean at Brenner's yesterday. The lumps in Paige's neck are "lymphangiomas". Basically they are tissue and blood vessels all clumped together forming little masses. At this point, they are not large enough to be harmful to her and he was not concerned about her white blood cell count. When he looked at her lab reports yesterday - he said it was 5.6. Still on the low side of the range, but in the range... woo-hoo!
So, the plan from here is check-ups, check-ups, and check-ups. She'll be followed by his Oncology Clinic in 3 months, 6 months, and then annually to monitor any changes and check labs if needed. Gave us a list of "red flags" to look for, but really felt she was fine.
Yeahh!!!
Devin and I did walk in the Relay for Life last night... more on that later... I'm too exhausted to post and upload photos on that right now.
