REGARDING TANYA’S BRAIN SURGERY:

July 30, 2010 After looking at numerous MRI's and weighing the potential good or bad outcomes, Tanya’s Surgeon (Dr. Daniel Kelly) and colleagues agreed that surgery is simply too risky. Therefore, there will be no surgery. Tanya has been referred to an Endocrinologist in San Francisco and will be going to meet up with him very soon. The family is of course disheartened by this news, but hope lies in the fact that perhaps further treatments (radiation for example) will make enough of a difference for surgery to take place sometime in the future. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.

More Good News!

I spoke with Tanya's Mom (Karen) last night and although Tanya's IGF-1 levels are ever in fluctuation, her current numbers are 754 (a reference rate is 64-344).  Even though it's a roller-coaster ride with Tanya's levels, Karen believes that the Somatuline Depot is playing a strong role in lowering Tanya's IGF-1.
