She will then have brachythrerapy. Why would they not do…

Living in a small town forever and loss

Has anyone seen NED the Movie?
I heard about it from a Chemosabe and purchased it via Vimeo. Interesting and uplifting stories about six doctors who form a band and some of their patients. I was surprised at some of the statistics they shared about under the belt cancers. We need to get the word out.

Well, ladies, the first results are in! My oncologist rang me today and told me the tumour has shrunk (was 4.1 x 3.8 x 2.8 cms now is 3.6 x 3.7 x 2.0 cms). This is very good news. We weren't expecting huge shrinkage, as the tumour is mixed up with scar tissue which will never disappear, but any shrinkage is a good sign…
