it seems the MRI on her brain revealed an 18mm ‘appearance’. they are not sure whether it is cancer or a blood clot related to the new clots on her kidney and spleen. dr. otero, radiology and neurology will review the scan tomorrow morning. we are in at 9am to hear the results, so please think of angel during this time. pray, shout, chant, do what you do, just hope it’s the lesser of two evils.
