Well they (my rad onc office)

Well they (my rad onc office) called this morning and postponed my appt.  It seems that at the tumor board meeting last night they decided I was going to need a second surgery on my lip/chin because the cancer is growing back.....I see my ENT surgeon concerning that on the 23rd.  I swear nothing has been going as planned lately.....it's getting on my very last nerve.  My lung tests and appt are still on for tomorrow and Friday.  Geez I hope to get whatever good news there is to hear Friday, really tired of all the set backs. 

Thanks all for your thoughts, it really helps me each and every day:)

Hugs,

Patti

Hi Patti,

OK now, I think it's time you catch a break!!  I wish I lived closer to you so I could take you out for a few drinks and just give you a hug.  I hope you get positive news tomorrow and Friday.  I know you can do this Patti!!

Hugs, 

Ginny

3 hours of tests?  You must

3 hours of tests?  You must be exhausted Patti.  Very understandable that you're ready to get your treatments and move on.  Post tomorrow when you can.  I'll have a drink for you!

Hugs, Kylez

Good luck today!

Thanks Doris:)  I think what

Thanks Doris:)  I think what complicates matters with me is the fact that the "slight" emphysema I was told I had four years ago is now being called extensive....I am no longer a smoker and they cannot figure out why that has gotten so bad during these past 8 or 9 months as well. The scans in Sept showed just slight changes in that not enough to even warrent treatment of any kind.   This surgeon is the very top of the top at U of C center for advanced medicine in that area.  It's not only the numerous noduels, like that word better then tumors...its the fact that my lungs are in horrible shape now altogether.  I am ending up being a very strange case....

I saw my head and neck cancer surgeon today, and my rad onc next Wed to be fitted for my mask for my 36 rounds of radiation I will be having to my face )lower lip and chin).  I will be starting those treatments on May 28.  They are planning to just add the lung met treatment after they finish the VATS or whatever they end up doing. 

It does help me Doris to know how you have done:), cancer is hell on earth.

Hugs!!!!!!

Patti

Positive thoughts and prayers.

Thanks all:)  Well after

Thanks all:)  Well after three hours of tests today I see my Thoratic surgeon tomorrow.  Hopefully he will set up a date for the VATS or  a needle biopsy, something, anything lol.....I really just want a set treatment plan in place regardless.  I will let you all know how it goes tomorrow.  I haven't had anything to drink since last July, right before my first bilateral IDC diagnosis.  I am a very light social drinker but boy oh boy could I go for a few right now!!!!!

Patti 

I am so sorry.  I will also be praying for you.
