Thank you all

Thank you everyone for helping me through this waiting game.  It appears there are no interventional radiologists close to me and insurance is taking their time referring me out of the area.  I will be pushing hard on them tomorrow morning to get this biopsy done so I can move on to whatever is next .

 

Your words are encouraging and hearing everyone's stories gives me more hope that even if it is metastasis, I will be around a while longer.  I know it is giving some comfort to my husband as well.

I will keep you all updated.

 

Yes, yes, and yes...

2006-had kidney, left lobe of liver, set of positive nodes, plus defective gall bladder remove.  Stage IV, T2N2M1 Fuhrman III-IV

2007-oops, enlarging node.  biopsy positive.  attached to duodenum and inferior vena cava.  successfully rmoved.

2008- oops, another. couldn't biopsy-PET showed it was positive for radioactive sugar solution uptake. behind bifurcation of aorta as it splits to go down each leg. sucessfully remove.

Thank you, Donna

I am glad to read of your longevity with this disease, Donna.  And thank you for the chuckle - this body, no matter what the outcome, will NEVER see a bikini, LOL. But the fact that you are still here today to wear one is awesome and your words very encouraging.
