Hi Everyone,
**** finished his Folfox 6 about 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately it looks as if 1 lymph node is positive for cancer. That is what the PET showed today. All else looked clear. We are waiting on the results of the echocardiogram for the pericardial effusion (liquid around the heart) We are very disappointed but **** says he's up for getting rid of cancer once and for all. We will talk to Dr. Lenz tomorrow. The doc here in Hawaii said they would biopsy the node to confirm cancer. We don't know what Dr. Lenz will say.

Thanks for all your support. We see all of you so strong and we get a lot of hope from you.

Aloha,
Kathleen

    Sucks to hear about your news. This cancer is a hard fight. Maybe they can zip it with a little more chemo? Keep us posted

    Good luck with that
    After my surgery next week I should be left with only two positive lymph nodes right beside each other in the portacaval cavity. That is why I'm going for the clinical trial which showed significant success in lymphoma patients. Hopefully this trial will be as effective for other cancers in the lymph. I'll keep you guys posted

    Darn it
    So sorry to hear about that one pesky node. I will keep both of you in my prayers and hope for a good plan for **** from Dr.Lenz. Please keep us updated.

    Hang in there.
