Kasey Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Spent the past couple of days in Bethesda, MD at the National Institutes of Health where I received my tx and surgery. Once again I am pleased to report that my surgeon declared NED a friend of mine STILL ! My euphoria is tempered by the news of my niece, Tracy, and her adeno/BAC dx . I learned today, upon my return home, that surgery may now NOT be an option depending on a procedure to determine the extent of her lymph node involvement. There is a chance she will be restged from 3A to either 3B or 4. Thank you those who actually remember when these scans are taking place for me. I appreciate all the well wishes you have sent. Thank you also............all of you who have sent words of encouragement and actual help with regard to Tracy. She is not yet to the point of reaching out, but when she is, I bet some of you will be hearing from her. Sorry I sort of mixed the good with the bad here. But gotta say also that I just LOVE all of you guys to pieces. I don't know where I would be........or what I would do........... without all of you. Will be needing you all again in about 3 weeks when Fred's nodule scan takes place ! Love, Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 So happy you and NED are buddies. Tracy may be a surgical candidate yet. If the chemo and radiation shrink the cancer enough, she may be able to have it removed. I hope so. Keep us posted on how she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
