Update on Andres, 15 year old from Ecuador

As of July 15, 2009, per Dr. S. Anthony Wolfe:

The tumor was invading the base of Andres' skull and impinging on the optic canal from beneath, and it would not have been long before he would have become blind in the eye.

The embolization done at Jackson Memorial was superb and made it possible to remove a massive tumor with only four units of blood. Dr. Bhatia also did a masterful job with the neurosurgical part. And we were able to rebuild his upper jaw on the spot and maintain his dental occlusion.

Thank you to the expertise of these two doctors, Dr. S. Anthony Wolfe and Dr. Sanjiv Bhatia.
