Jeff Young's Fight Against Colon Cancer

Vertebra Update

Dr. C. called yesterday afternoon after additional radiologists had consulted about the spinal findings in Jeff's most recent CT. They have determined that the T7 vertebra in Jeff's back is underdeveloped and he has probably had this since birth. The procedure that Jeff was going to have done is no longer an option. Dr. C. told us to keep in touch with him if the pain worsens. They are also holding off on the MRI, bone scan and biopsy.

Take Care,

Hey,
I was just telling Jeff that I needed to drop you a line soon, becuase it had been a while. Anyway I will drop you a line via e-mail sometime this weekend. So much time has passed, bu it seems like we just saw you last week in Junction City. Jeff's MRI didn't show anything that we are told, but we are still talking to his primary care physician about some pain management options.
