Good news! The nodes did not show cancer on the PET scan done this morning. There is just the growing cancer in the thigh area (the two tumors). I am on the surgery schedule for Friday. So excited I won't have to do the groin dissection surgery that I did last time. It was such a long recovery.
The Dr. still wants me to consider the vaccine trial. I have till Wednesday to decide for sure. Dr. says standard of care at this point is surgical excision or clinical trial. I am trying to tell him I have higher standards. It's not working.
So, camp decision again. This is so confusing.
Kind of funny that I am giddy about two tumors! Perspective, I guess.
Such good news. It does sound a little crazy to be happy about two tumors, but I am oh so happy for you! I feel like I've been holding my breath waiting for you to do this test. We are still here, always here, if you need us. You're always in our thoughts and prayers. We'll start holding our breath again now hoping all goes smoothly with the surgery and recovery and/or all your tough decisions.
ReplyDeleteWe have been waiting, too. Thanks for keeping this updated. Sooo glad you finally got some good news. Praying for you in your decision.
ReplyDeleteThat is the best news I have heard all day! Perspective is definitely a funny thing. I will be thinking good thoughts for your surgery Friday. I bought myself some tulips today and wondered if yours need to be replaced yet. Do they?
