game changer

Ultrasound today showed another tumor above the original. Also possible involvement in a couple lymph nodes in the groin. Holy cow, can I please have a day without bad news?

Surgery if off and PET scan is being scheduled for tomorrow. If it is just in those nodes we may be doing the same treatment. If it is not cancer, but inflammation in the nodes, we go back to original plan. We need to scan and make sure it is no where else.

I took it like a champ today. Go Alisa!!!

    I admit I didn't take it so well. You're amazing, Alisa. I'm praying for better news tomorrow.

    Alisa, we are all praying for you and I just wanted to commend you on being so open and honest in your blog. Last time around I would ask Sonj for all the news and details, but you can imagine, this time around she's just referring me to your blog. I agree with Jon and Jill-I'm praying for better news and as long as you don't mind, I'll be keeping track of you by checking your blog daily as I check on Steven. You are a Champ! You can kick this things butt again, and possibly even do it with that beautiful smile.

    Really? I mean come on, really. Just when you make plans, your body says, "Nope. I am in charge here." I am going to be hoping for good PET scan news tomorrow. Way to take it in stride! Alisa for MVP!

    Ok. Surgery is off. Currently, I believe the plan is for Mexico girls to come to you. But maybe you'll be up for going out after all. Lemme know.

    You know I love you.

    wow. I don't read for a few days and I miss so much! It is crazy how much things change-you must feel so overwhelmed by it all! I totally understand about not wanting to hurt your family. You are one tough, amazing mom. Wish I could see you in the morning in your hello kitty robe! I might have matching slippers around here somewhere....anyhow, my thoughts and prayers are always with you. Loved the pictures of Kauai you posted. I too, am a solar powered girl. I'm pretty sure going to Hawaii kept things going for a long time!!Love you!!
