The following is  MAINLY quoted text from Judy’s Facebook page.

On Thursday the 28, 2016 I reported how my wife had sent her medical records in a box to a leading specialist for Chordoma resurch at Massachusetts General.  On Monday, July 25 2016 we received a call from him, to tell us he has already reviewed her case.

It is his recommendation Judy be referred to Pittsburgh, PA to Dr. Paul Gardner for a total resection of her Chordoma. After the specialist reviewed the images before and after surgery, it showed Judy's first surgery did not yield as successful results as we hoped.  There is an extremely large amount of the tumor remaining.

Additionally, based on a MRI from 2010 it appears there is evidence the chordoma was beginning to form back in 2010.  Unfortunately there was no follow up MRI's ordered to monitor any changes.

At this point Judy is waiting to hear from Dr. Gardner so she can begin to schedule all necessary appointments to attempt the total resection of the chordoma. Please begin to pray for travel arrangements and the removal of the entire tumor.  As it is the best form of treatment for chordoma patients. After surgery we will begin to consider proton radiation treatment plans.
