results in (kind of)

I talked with the Dr. briefly. There is something showing growth in my pelvic region, above the leg. The surgeon thought this was a lymph node, but the radiologist looked again and thinks it is not. I go in Friday to have another CT and hopefully (if they can get at it) a needle biopsy to see if there are cancerous cells or something else. Of course we won't get the results from the pathology of the biopsy till next week at the earliest.

So a little more waiting. And a lot more hoping.

If this is cancerous and not a lymph node, I guess I would be considered stage IV. If it is a lymph node near where my others were removed, I may stay the same stage. If this is not cancer, I am going to do 29 back-flips in a row. At least. Can't do one now, but no matter.

  1. This waiting stuff is no good. I'll have to use it to start working on my backflip so I can celebrate with you.

  4. You can use my trampoline. It is a lot easier to do back flips on there and you can spy on Amy at the same time!

  5. I have a secret fear of back-flips (having landed on my head once), but will gladly take them up again.

  10. More waiting means more praying. We'll keep praying that you'll have to practice your back flips.
