Life throws curveballs.

Just when we thought we have had the worst week ever, the blows just keep coming. Friday, I went in for a pre-surgery petscan and the results were not good. The tumors in the lymph nodes which previously were inactive are now highly active and I may have a new one infected. This makes surgery a mute point as the cancer would just spread into the liver and that makes the surgery an unnecessary risk. It's back to chemo to try and stop the tumors from spreading further. I will get started hopefully this Friday or by next Friday at the latest. As long as the body stays healthy, and the chemo does its job, I can be a candidate for surgery again. We'll just have to be hopeful.

This cancer roller coaster keeps getting tougher. It brings out emotions and stress that are hard to contain without hurting someone. If you know someone who has cancer, give them a hug and tell them you are thinking about them. Tell them you love them if you do, it really means a lot.

Thanks for reading,
Jeff
