ITA, Doydie. I'm glad you said that to her.

I hate the 1/4" squish too, but go! Go! Go! And let us know when you've done it.

I haven't written much lately about her surgery. She is about one month since surgery now. We had been pretty worried about it. she jsut wasn't healing as far as energy, swelling, etc. She was breahtless but she said that comes with her fibromyalgia. Her pathology report was bad, 3 out of 6 lymph nodes were involved with one of them very involved. So they did a PET scan to see if the cancer had spread. With her being so breathless I was so afraid of it already being in her lungs. i was afraid that I wouldn't even have her at Christmas. But the PET scan was normal!!!!!!!!!!! No hot spots! No one understands. they say with the very aggressive cancer type that she has why was the scan normal. they just don't get what God had to do with it. It was just such a God thing, no other way to describe it.

But she was still having a lot of drainaige tubes and the last one fell out while she was sleeping last night. So she had to go back to surgery tonight to have it replaced. So he explored while he was in ther. Her implnat on the cnacer side ws indfected so they had to comletely romove it and it can't be reoplaced for 3 months. But hopefully that was what was keeping her from recoveing.

I'm sorry Sis is having a hard recovery. Happy for the Scan report, though.

Prayers are still coming your way..

Good Luck doydie..just noticed this thread...saying prayers for your sister that it doesnt ever spread...

My sister might just have 3-6months now...she started colon cancer 3 years ago, removed it, chemo...doing fine, then slam...spreaded to liver, removed half liver, chemo..doing well....then found in liver again and lungs...she is now done with chemo...as nothing is doing it....and was starting a experimental drug at a university....but now kicked off the test..as she isnt passing her lung breathing tests enough....might be another test for her....to get on...

but at same time last pet scans showed more and bigger cancer...she has been in pain...silently..as she is tough and strong...not sharing too much..but has been in pain due to the liver area, and a cough developing from lungs....

sorry if sad to share, just wanted to share...and HUG YOU ....keep the prayers up for your sis...and I will too...hugsss,sarah

Found out yesterday that the infection is the dreaded MRSA. Because of what my immune system must be with all the frustration over my disaster of a family room redo and the contractor from hell plus the fact that my psoriasis is really acting up, I can't go see her.
