Feeling Hopeful Today

I measure the quality of my days by how hopeful I feel. Today is a good day. We met with husband's oncologist prior to chemo. I came armed with questions thanks to my discussion board friends. My first question was in regard to a 2nd opinion by an oncological surgeon. I had read about the HIPEC surgery on the discussion board, did some research, and had a name of a surgeon in the area who performed the surgery. Before I could ask the question, the onc. said if next scan showed reduction in tumors he was referring my husband to the same surgeon whose name I was holding. This was good in two ways; first in gave me renewed faith in the onc. and 2nd it was the first time we heard the "s" word (surgery). It's a good day!! Lisa
