Joy,
I just had to reply quickly. I am not the expert in advice on treatment, but I do want to say that I believe in you and your resiliency and your beauty of spirit. It has been thrilling to read of you discovering love in your life. You CAN beat this, I am sure of it. I know there are so many her that love you dearly, and I hope that their love and strength comes through to you.
It is a great thing that the radiologist says you are stable. Brava!
It is up to you if you want to be more aggressive yet right now to beat it back even more.
Meanwhile, breath, love, and believe...
Sending postive thoughts and prayers,
Terri
Sending you healing.
