LindaMRG Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Hello Friends, Well, its back to the oncologist this Wed 10/15 after my father's restaging from IIIa to IIIb due to the supraclavicular node the surgeon found upon touch. He needs prayers because of his past with lymphoma (and second bout resulting in stem cell transplant) he is not a great candidate for full dose chemo. I am hoping they will be able to accomplish what they want to with radiation (which thankfully he's never had before), or brachytherapy, or even surgery. Surgeon said if he ever saw good enough shrinkage he would consider surgery again. We will discuss maybe going to Sloan Kettering for treatment, I want onc's opinion on that. He needs Jesus' Healing Hand, that will be his strongest weapon. All my prayers to Him and the intercession of Mary and many of my favorite saints is that he can be healed in spite of all thats stacked against him. I have enough faith to know it will happen. So, Im asking, begging, for your prayers for my great dad, Matthew. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaMRG Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 Thank you so much, my dear friends, for your thoughts and prayers. They mean so very much to me. I prayed for this board at Adoration today at church. Norme, I read your new signature - so this is GREAT news right! Does this mean Buddy is NED? I sure hope so!!

norme Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Linda, The PET showed an enlarged lymph node that will be checked out tomorrow by a scan. If that is only an infection then yes to NED at the present time and hopefully the future. This has really been on heck of a roller coaster ride. Thanks for your concern.....
