I explained that it would end up like one of those cosmetic counter make-overs where they only do one side of your face......not the nice even reduction she dreamed of.

The surgeon is sending the films to the radiologist on his team. He reminds me of a careful carpenter, you know, measure twice, cut once. We are still not sure that this is the surgeon that will be doing the cutting. Her second opinion will be at an oncology hospital and I'm thinking they will most likely take charge of her case, but I don't know that definitively.
Monday we will be seeing the hematology oncologist, but that is less nerve wracking, since she has been treated by this lovely doctor three years ago when she had an unrelated blood issue.
Thank you again for all your support it means so much, I can't begin to tell you!!

Glad you are on top of this,and you can come here to discuss with those that have been there, or know others that have, and can understand the importance and the need for support.


pynkkameleon's offer is something sweet, as we know sharing can help in so many ways, like any program, and life.

Hoping for the best during this scary time.
Survivor's, caretakers, friends and family are one hella support system. Take care and be well.
