Surgery scheduled Nov 5 to remove the rest of the nodes followed by radiation and a chemo cocktail that will last 4 months. The doctor said the recurrence in this area is rare, but can occur. He has only personally known of 2 cases, mine included. Need MRI for shadow on the PET on my liver. Although the doctor said SSC to the liver is so very rare, now I have to wait again for the outcome. If it comes back positive, all surgeries and bets are off at that point.

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."
