Hi Fr. Mike!

Hope this finds you regaining your strength. I don't think we can call your 1 positive lymph node a setback, because we never knew what the status of the nodes was. Does that make sense? So, while no nodes would have been better, one node isn't the worst news.

I am not the person to tell you aye or nay on radiation, but I am certain you will make the right decision for you. You have tons of support from all of us, and the guy upstairs. I know you and your doctors will plan the proper course of treatment for you. Take care, and I am sending hugs from Oz to Jersey. (Hope you aren't being affected by the black out in NYC.)

Sincerely,
Lisa <-- in Ks with Dorothy, Toto and the gang
