So sorry u are doing this again... sending prayers and positive thoughts. I too am surprised that they can get to the lymph nodes to biopsy, but not to remove? I am sure they have their reasons, but I have wondered this before with others.
Will continue to send prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family.

and that the beast has reared its ugly head in your direction.
I have faith and hope that you will accomplish your goal of gaining remission, again -- and winning yet another battle with the beast. You have a solid game plan in action with solid and positive professionals, Sisters in PINK and family members to cheer you on.
Continued prayers and positive thoughts coming your way.
Strength, Courage and Hope.

When A Disease is Systemic ... No Need For Surgery!
Hi,
When a disease is systemic they don't usually do surgery. Treatment is taking care of the problem by either Chemotherapy, Hormonal therapy or radiation.
They don't need to slash you to remove the malignancy at this point. I had tumors all over both lungs and lining. The thoracic surgeon did a VATS (video assisted thoracic surgery) for a biopsy and removed enough samples of the tumors in order to know what kind of therapy to prescribe.
In my case my tumors were 90% estrogen and I went on hormonal therapy. The first one didn't work well, arrested growth but ... then progressed. The second therapy was great, more than 85% of the tumors to a hike for around 22 months. Then those that didn't disappeared grew again and some returned. That's the game.
If the PET scan showed cancer elsewhere and not in the liver, more than likely your liver spot is probably not cancer. I once had a couple spots found on a ct scan that turned out to be cysts. There are other things that come and go on parts that we would never know about unless we have some sort of scan.
Since you are doing chemotherapy, that should take care of all your concerns on cancer. Your concerns are being taken care systemically. You don't want to be "over scan, and over biopsy" with needless surgery. No good doctor would recommend that you go that route.
Best wishes,

Sweet, sweet Linda~ when I
Sweet, sweet Linda~ when I look at how many responses you have gotten, I hope it warms your heart to know just how much you are loved, and that we embrace you with every ounce of courage and strength you might possibly need. Of course we wish none of this had happened~ and we would do anything to take it away, and make it all be an ugly, scary nightmare that you will wake up from. But....the next best thing we can do is give you everything you might need as a Kindred Spirit~ we are with you every step of the way.
I will be burning sage and tobacco with healing thoughts being sent directly to you.
(((((((hugs)))))

Linda, this really really stinks. I am so sorry to hear this news. I am sure you must be shaken. The only thing I can do is send strength and well wishes your way. I hope that the support shown here helps you and that you regroup for this next fight. You can do this.
Take Care,

Linda, I am so sorry to hear
Linda, I am so sorry to hear that you have to deal with this and endure more chemo. For me, the doctor recently found 3 tiny lumps in my breast that don't show up on any scan (MRI, mammo or ultrasound) and the doctor suspects LCIS. Nothing serious and barely touches on what you are dealing with but I spent a couple of weeks crying and wondering if 'cancer' was going to be the rest of my life. My heart goes out to you and we are holding your hand while you go through all of us. Please keep us posted. Much love to you.0 -
Cancer Sucks!
Of course, I wish cancer didn't exist at all. However, those who must deal with it more than once (especially after enduring everything available) - makes me so sad, angry, frustrated beyond description... Am so very, very sorry, Linda.
Sending my most sincere & heartfelt HOPES your way. Prayers & good thoughts, too. For successful treatment. For your inner strength & resolve.
Kind regards, Susan0 -
Linda
I'm so sorry for what you are going through. My heart goes out to you as you face chemo once again. We always pray that "c" doesn't rear its ugly face again. Gather your strength and know that we all care about you. When able, keep posting. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
