Surgery Update

Trenton had the tumor removed successfully. It was a mature teratoma and was benign thank goodness. We should not need to visit the cancer unit or the Oncologist again. Deep breath. The teratoma has probably been growing in his chest since he was in utero. Teratoma's generally come from another baby-oh yes at some point I was probably pregnant with twins but the other never fully developed. Teratoma's usually have bits of hair, nail and bone fragments and this was true with Trenton's too. Crazy, I know. Now we wait for August when he will have another CT Scan to be sure everything is working properly and the tumor is fully gone. He will also have an ultrasound on his thyroid as they found a nodule in the original CT Scan. This probably means another surgery but should be less intrusive than the first.
