We got a call from the Radiology Oncologist and she said she presented my case and pathology slides to the the tumor board. There recommendation was no radiation. The tumor was too high and the stuff that was removed more than took care of what was out there. Oh happy day!

Now just 5 more folfox treatments to go. I also will have my first CEA level drawn on Wednesday, I am thinking it will be just fine! (although I am having fun with a bit of test anxiety, but you all know about that-right?)

Take care
Jan

    Hi Jan

    Sorry your post fell below - we missed it - I got the "little one" a few days ago and he turned the apple cart upside down, LOL :)

    Hey, that's really good news to hear - soo happy for you - I did not want that for you at all!

    Wow, you got the magic hall pass and were spared - go buy a lottery ticket right away!

    Thanks for posting this udpate - sorry I missed you earlier, I've been on and off when I get a break from puppyhood.

    Great news! Test anxiety is normal. But I am sure you have nothing to worry about.

    Craig, My puppy is now 10 months old. I am still waiting for my "break" from puppyhood!

    Little ones take time
    Puppies are a wonderful addition but they do take time! We talked about getting a puppy but I was concerned I could not take care of it when I have chemo, so we will get one after we are done. Tomorrow is treatment #8 (I goofed and thought we were doing #7, so it was a double good day) and so we are counting down until it is over!

    Have fun with the little one!

    wonderful
    I'm so glad you don't have to do radiation. FOLFOX is enough torture.

    7 down, 5 to go... more than half-way!
