Amy's (Deb's sister) Update: Friday January 4th, 2008: 20:24 EST

Debbie met with Dr. Yu this afternoon and got some very encouraging news. He was optimistic that he could operate and remove the tumor. The current plan is for Deb to go on Avastin as soon as possible, continue taking steroids to keep the swelling down, have a repeat MRI in about 6 weeks, then possibly have surgery at that point. Debbie will post more details soon.
