One of two problems has escalated here; ONE being the brain met and TWO being the cervical spine which was something we have always watched. This suspicious area has bone marrow issues which could be simply bone mets to this spot. Although we are unsure of a secondary cancer at this time. Further testing needs to be done here, so we are getting orders written.

Friday evening close to 9pm our Oncologist called to check up on us. Our attack will be planned today and we already know what this needs to be. The important part is if the Gamma Knife doctor feels he can wait a couple of weeks to see if more mets declare themselves. Our Oncologist is going to wait for them answers for this puzzle. He feels that the cervical spine is not the issue the other radiologists may think they see without these scans (but who knows for sure?). This could be part of the ongoing saga in Ed's bones and maybe this is where the reoccurrence is happening.

So, Monday (today) is the day I call the Gamma Surgeon to see if we can wait atleast 2-3 weeks...Uggh! The call to our Oncologist will contain the appointment day for GammaMan and his orders. I will then have appointments with OncMan and his orders. These will all blend into communications with teams and by Wednesday we will aggressively put plans to work.

And for all of you here praying and a-wishing for our future.....We have planned another cruise for September 26th, 2009. Gorgeous room with extended balcony headed back to St. Thomas and includes St. Marteen and Nassau. I am all done looking forward to only test results, there has to be more to our lives, there has to be more reasons! Onward and forward. Hopefully though, we can leave the Decadron home.....LOL!

Love to all, thanks for your loving support>>Believe51
