Hi Mary,
The surgery option sounds hopeful. You're in my thoughts and prayers as you face this new stage of your journey.
Peace and blessings...

Dear Mary: I am so sorry to hear the news. I have not been on the computer as I have been in the hospital. I started chemo of erbitux and oxyplatinum and developed not only the severe acne but shingles. I was hospitaized for 8 days. I often think about you and what you are going thru. You are a strong person. I will be thinking of you when you have that operation. I finsished
that radiation to the skull lost the hair on that side. The DR. now re-measured the tumor that sticks out of my head and states it is 4cm by 4.5 cm. I told him when he started it was 3cm by 3.5 cm so now it grew? His answer was that the hair was in the way with the first measurement. Now that it is bald it is more of a accurate measurement. I am so disgusted with these idiot comments. I am very depressed and then I think of what you are going thru. I don't think I would have as much strength as you have to do what you are doing. I give you alot of credit to you and your DR. team. I will be thinking of you. LOve Fran
