New information from Doctor

I spoke with the ortho doctor today and he stated that the hip joints on both sides are intact. They have not collapsed at this time. I also spoke with the oncologist who states that Colleen's bones do show new areas of bone death or osteonecrosis. The steroids that she received have caused this problem. We are so thankful for the fact that God answered our prayers and her bones are structurally intact. The oncologist states  that the problem may get better but it could get worse. We have to monitor the bones but our focus right now is to manage the pain. They are currently researching the use of  osteoporosis meds to help stimulate bone growth.  Next week they will check vitamin d levels and soon do a dexascan to check the bones. We are not out of the woods yet. This problem could still progress. Please pray that God will restore her bones and heal them without any further problems. We are thankful for the fact that our Father in heaven hears and answers our prayers. Thank you so much for praying!
