Well, I had two axillary nodes removed and both came back SCC mets. PET on Tuesday, decision time Thursday. This will be number 5 for me. The doctor commended me for sticking to my guns and insisting the excisional biopsy be done. Since this hasn't been there that long there was a good chance the FNA B would have been another false negative. You must listen to your instincts!

How Cindy wants to be remembered..."I want people to realize I am no longer trapped in this body prison, and I will be free and whole. I want to be remembered by all the good and loving times spent together, not in sadness."
