more rechecks this afternoon
Hey everyone,
Rechecking the lung and chest wall down at Masonic today. And it's suppose to snow. Alrighty then, should be a fun trip. I also want to bring up another issue that is important in understanding our dx's. TUMOR PROFILING This shows our specific DNA and RNA that could match up tx's in the future that could help us fight our specific dx's. There isn't anything near me to do this as my dx is rare and not studied (researched) in our state. TOO FEW. But with the help of accoi I did find a resource to do it. It is very exspensive, but some insurance companies will cover the labs services. I'm a bit shook that this isn't offered as an option in the beginning of our journeys. The more I research, the more I'm seeing advancements in this specific area for more personalized medical tx's. I know in the beginning all I wanted was the cancer gone. If I can explore and understand options for us and actually muddle my way through it, I feel it may help others in finding a cure. This is different from histology (tissue type) which is important to know also. Well enough of the medical lingo for this morning. Will let you know how all of this progresses and what if anything this will help. Have a great day.....as I will ! Katie

Good Luck Katie on your re-CHECKs.

Good to hear from you and best of luck with today's fun afternoon. We'll be meeting with the MDA Rad Onc this afternoon to discuss plan for lung tumor. More fun, also.
Take Care,
Luv,

Hey everyone,
Didn't even make it 30 miles from home and ended up turning around. Our back roads were rotten, made it to a state hwy. that was just as bad. So called them, gonna have an xray done at the local clinic.....sent to them. And also a phone consult with my medical oncologist. I remember T saying something about coming to our state and saying it was stupid cold. I love my state but I've gotta agree with him. We usually get the snow in March, little early. I'm doing really good, and getting spunky again. Hopefully my onc will agree w/the H/N guy, and I won't have to go back til May now. Keep your fingers crossed ! Oh P...ACCOI is adenoid cystic carcinoma org. international. They have been a god send to me with their knowledge on my dx. I think that all H/N dx's are important, so any and all information I find that could help us all, I will share. Katie
