Today I am sad, I am angry and depressed. Yesterday August 23 Dr. Smith called and told us the tumor is bigger than he thought and at least one lymph node is enlarged for sure. He told us the suggested plan is to start chemotherapy immediately and put off the surgery. He hopes to see if the tumor (hopefully) reacts to the chemo and shrinks.
Tomorrow August 25 I will have a PET scan and a CT scan. Monday August 30 they will do a Sentinel Node Biopsy and put a port in my chest for the chemo.
FIGHTING BACK MANY TEARS, THIS SUCKS!!!!
Thinking about you today Beth! Fight this hard! Be spirit strong.

Beth,
ReplyDeleteThere's a friend of ours. Tom Eckenrode, has had cancer a few years ago and learned quite a bit about Chemo and all the other stuff. He knows of groups and stuff he researched. He's a good guy. Now he runs marathons all over the country mostly to raise funds for Cancer research I believe. He has come a long way and might be helpful. Let me know and I'll chat with him and have him send you a friend request.
