Profanities...
I liked the way you worded that.
I am terribly sorry to hear this. I know that its not totally unexpected, after this last run in earlier this year (it was this year, rigth? Time flies, I lose track). No matter how much you know it could happen, nothing prepares you for the gut punch when it does.
Here's hoping for some real slow growing tumours, if they have to be there.

Bummer
I'm so sorry to hear this as you did so well for so long and now all the setbacks. I'm praying that your "wait and see" approach is a long time. Remember Phil, he was a wait and see for years. I've not seen him lately but he was out doing kayaking and many activities during his wait and see. Wishing you the best going forward. You are in my prayers.
Hugs! Kim

C--p back atchaNewHere said:I'm not inoperable yet (though any surgery would take many, many hours because of all my adhesions.) My surgeon at MSK wants to watch, hoping the growth will be slow, and also under the assumption that more spots will start to grow. He'd rather go in as few times as possible (and this new growth is separate from the tumor he removed last year, even tho they all originated with the same cancer.) Ugh and damn.

Just missed you by a day or two our last rounds of surgery in September 2016.
I will probably do my chemo in Westchester when the time comes, easier to get to.

So sorry to hear about recurrence
Hopefully it is a slow growing cancer as you said, and they can get it with surgery. Sounds like your doctor is pretty confidant about surgery helping your case. That is definitely in your favor for a possible cure or long term survival. It gets scary when they tell you they can't operate, but even then many people are surviving for years with just chemo. Guess we are all lucky for the medical advances in cancer treatments.
Keep fighting and enjoy the time you have!
