My nephew updated regarding the results from the test of their son Sean's cerebrospinal fluid that was sent to Los Angeles for special testing. The tumor markers continue to be negative.

This test was done because it is more sensitive than the normal tumor marker tests, so this is generally good news as it indicates that there aren't cancer cells floating around in his CSF. It's also confusing because they've been told by the oncology team that there is still an "index of suspicion" about cancer. In other words, they still suspect this is cancer, even though all tumor markers are showing negative results.

The next step is another set of MRIs on March 26. They continue to wait and pray. This period of unknown tension is difficult, trying to balance hope with caution, and we would appreciate prayers for peace of mind.
