Faxed my results to MSKCC
Thank you for your notes friends!
Kate, Nikki, Lolly, Adriana, Caya, Mary Jo, you understand they were really not good results but not horrific either!
Lolly I looked at your previous posts about getting a stubborn lymph node radiated. - I had my cervical (mid neck) lymph node radiated on the left side (that was my originally affected side) and that lymph node obliged and shrunk back to oblivion! The one they found now is the supraclavicular on the right, hmm. Your post gave me ideas. I might make an appointment with my radiation oncologist to see what she thinks. Do you think that may be a good idea?
Right now waiting for my oncologist to come back from vacation. And waiting from the second opinion doctor to call. Will let you know about next steps too.
My keyboard at home is still dead. Cannot write as often as I wish.
When is your appointment for the cyberknife Kate?
Thinking of you, praying for complete recovery for all of us and hoping for a scientific breakthrough ASAP.
with love,
Odette
