Yes, it's cancer.

Little Teddy does have cancer. She is going to Salt Lake this week for a bone marrow aspiration and a biopsy. They want to keep her overnight afterwards because they have to "move things around quite a bit in her belly" to do the procedure. Yikes! Poor lil' Tedders!

They will then stage her cancer and decide on a treatment option. Her doc may take a "wait and see" approach though. The tumor could go away on its own.

"Neuroblastoma is a form of cancer that occurs in infants and young children. It is rarely found in children older than 10 years.

Ganglioneuroblastoma is a tumor that has both malignant and benign parts. It contains neuroblasts (immature nerve cells) that can grow and spread abnormally, as well as areas of benign tissue that are similar to ganglioneuroma(a benign tumor which is composed of mature ganglion and nerve sheaths that do not continue to grow.).

The tumor itself can behave strangely. Sometimes the cells die without any cause and the tumor disappears. This is part of a normal process known as programmed cell death (apoptosis), the normal process that occurs when cells die. This tumor disappearance is much more common in very young infants than in older children. Another behavior that is unusual for childhood tumors is that the cells sometimes mature spontaneously to normal ganglion cells and stop dividing. This causes the tumor to become a ganglioneuroma, which is benign (non-cancerous)."
