Hello Mike

I had surgery 5-17-07. MO surgeon said 3 weeks to start treatment.

RO said maybe 4 wks. (All healed)

No chemo appointment until 6-25-07. Who said I did not need chemo.

First rad. tx 7-5-07. On 6-30-07, I had two bumps appear. I called RO on 7-2-07. They said they would look at them at my first appointment on 7-5-07.

RO looked at the 2 bumps. Said they were new tumors. They boosted radiation dose on the two tumors. Now I am waiting to get chemo asap.

Today I got a new bump and all three are growing swiftly and it is freaking me out!

I AM NOT A DOCTOR. But I would push for rad & chemo at the three weeks.

Do not get caught up in the percentages of survival. It is unneeded worry, no two people react the same and there are two many variables.

Staying positive- Do everything you are told, ask questions and pray. Some recommend meds if needed.

Well, that's about 3 1/2 answers.

Good Luck, Petey
