Hi Suzanne,

I had my CT and PET scans done yesterday and am seeing my surgeon on Monday. Treatment plan will be discussed then. For the time being I am trying to come to terms with the situation as best as I can. Sometimes I am terrified, other times I feel strong and confident...what an emotional rollercoaster this is. A few weeks ago, I was feeling healthy and on top of the world...its amazing what a difference the word cancer makes to your pschye, especially one that has come back so early.

What gets me through is my family, friends and my new family on OCF...the stories of survival give me immense hope.



I thank you all for your prayers.

Liza
