The Girls are Happy

We have received so many wonderful thing from our friends over the last couple months. Flowers, food, books, etc. but I just have to share the beautiful eggs Betsy's girls have been laying. I LOVE real eggs but these are just so pretty I'm not sure I can break them. Maybe I'll blow them out - what a great lung exercise! That's a plan.

 

We met with my radiation oncologist Monday and she is the first one who conveyed a sense of urgency. The first to talk about how out of the box my case has been all along (surprise, surprise) and said it was aggressive. Then she told us she would recommend 6 weeks of daily radiation concurrent with the four rounds of chemo. Sore throat along with the hair loss, tiredness and loss of appetite. Sounds like a good time to me. She seemed pretty concerned about the active node left behind after the last biopsy. She thinks Susie did the right thing in not trying to remove it because it would cause more damage to try to get it out surgically but it is still there doing its thing. I sure wish I didn't fall into the 10% for whom the PET scan didn't work. Just where are these guys hiding?

Sometimes it seems like the more I learn the more I have to learn and the more confusing things are getting. It isn't clear cut if you are trying to be your own advocate.
