Routine doctor's appointment
NOT. . .no not me! Went to Stanford Tuesday for one of 2 appointments post treatment. Microvascular surgeon was getting ready for a little nip, tuck (spot in incision site, graft opens up at least once a month). I reminded him about the pain that I have been having and have gone back on pain meds. He talked to Onc. Surgeon, MRI scheduled for later that day. (Blue Cross BS is fast when there are symptoms). Wednesday returned for my scheduled appt. with Onc, Surgeon. MRI showed thickening on nerve, he talked to a neuro guy, thought the same thing, 'c' returned. Tumor board is today, we should hear this evening if I will need a biopsy to confirm and what I might be able to do, surgery and chemo. Well, getting ready to fight again. I will fight to the end. Cancer stinks.

Crap, crap, crap!!!
I hate this cancer crap, too! KT....you are the fighting-est woman I know....But the tumor board hasn't met yet, and no biopsy has been had....so until those things take place...."it ain't cancer till they say it is".
Sending a ton of positive thoughts your way, dear lady....and tucking you into my pocket for safe keeping.

Is there such a thing?
Awww Crap! (to second what P said)
After cancer I don't think there's a routine doctor's appointment anymore. I hope their suspicions are wrong but if not, give Jack a good kick in the teeth! You have the right attitude and spirit.
Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!

Hi Bev
so sorry to hear this latest news....but remember our famous mantra.....it's nothing until a biopsy says it's something.
Sending you extra strength to get thru this next hurdle.
You can do it...whatever it turns out to be.
