Bad Piece of News - update

Updates at bottom. Alison mentioned previously that she'd been experiencing back pain, and associated it with stress from relocation. Well, yesterday we came home after buying our new house, and she went into some excruciating pain. She couldn't sit, lay, or stand comfortably. She finally let me take her to the new ER, where they did an MRI. The MRI showed some tumorous involvement in the 11Th and 12Th lumbar, as well as between her shoulder blades. The lower one poses 2 problems: it's obstructing the right kidney from releasing urine, and it's compressing the spinal chord. The doctors fear that the compression could lead to paralysis/permanent nerve damage. This morning she'll be transported to the radiation facility, where they'll begin a radiation treatment that will last for the next three weeks. Hopefully though, she'll be able to come home on Monday, and begin her outpatient treatment.We're both in good spirits, but it is both nice to have family within minutes and hours, but terrifying to have a whole new set of doctors that don't know her history, and are taking some aggressive action.
-She completed radiation treatment #1 at 1PM. We had to ride in an ambulance to a new building. The EMTs were nice, and suggested she wear her shades. I don't know if she really meant it, but she told me to take this picture for her picture of the day, which she's still doing, but hasn't updated online yet. She returned nauseas, and vomitted before falling asleep.
