More Surgery needed

Unfortunately the surgery was not 100% successful and more surgery is required

The MRI shows a small area of Chordoma still present

I will be back in surgery either Monday or Wednesday next week

It is in an accessible area so they are going through the nasal passage again

Apparently there have been 4 consultants/Doctors spending a few hours reviewing my scans

The original size of the Chordoma was 4.5cm long.  So a pretty large lump to remove

First surgery was the biopsy.  Second surgery the main removal.  Third time lucky and complete removal.  Lets hope so
