kimblanchard Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Well, got the CT results today and it wasn't great. Still no signs of one tumor, another showed NO growth, but a third has reappeared in a Lymph Node. I am scheduled to restart Chemo next Tues Could have been worse, will take a few days to absorb the setback and get my chin back up...but I will!!! jim Quote
Don Wood Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Rats! Hoping the chemo will zap that sucker. Don Quote
Treebywater Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Bleck, Jim, this totally bums me out.... Praying for you. Keep on fighting and fishing! Quote
ginnyde Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Jim, I am so sorry. But it seems that you respond well to chemo and as long as you are one step ahead, you'll keep fishing. Many prayers coming your way. Quote
j ross Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Jim I have been following your progress and was so so disappointed to hear the news. There is an arsenal of treatments and you must find the right ones. Best wishes Jennie Quote
elnodel Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Well, that just you-know-what's. I'm so sorry but it's just a lymph node. Take care of it with the chemo and get back to nerd-dom! Are they going to do any radiation? Let us know how the chemo goes.... Ellen Quote
SDianneB Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Well, shucks. Don't like to hear that, but you're right -- it could have been worse. I think you'll do fine -- hang in there, ok? Di Quote
