Hi George,
I haven't posted for a while, so I thought I would catch up a bit. I am moving forward every day. It's not as bad as it was in the beginning, although I'm not all better yet.
And, as if I didn't have enough on my plate, I was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma in a place where the sun don't shine!! Don't ask me how or why, the doctor doesn't know either.
So I had to have yet another surgery just two weeks ago, and now I have a rather tender incision in a spot where there should never be one>>
No more cancer there, so that's something.
I just had three month follow up scans last week and a meeting with a new oncologist this past Tuesday. He told me the scans are clear, so that is a huge relief, as I'm sure you know. My original oncologist was recruited by the National Cancer Institute in Washington, DC, and he left Fox Chase the end of May. I was sorry to see him go. Not only was he excellent and personable, he was very tall,dark and super handsome. Oh, well.
So, I am in a better place than I was a month ago, and I realize that it's only been three months since my surgery. I have to be patient with myself. (Not a strong suit)
I thank you in advance for your good advice and support. Keep it coming, and I hope this long note finds you well.
Mary
