Tom's post-chemo/radiation scan showed suspicious nodes on the LEFT side, and now he will be facing 2 dissections. He hasn't said too much - other than 'let's get it all out of me' - but his actions/emotions show that he is concerned, and scared. We are keeping busy until surgery date - - - the surgeon offered to have Tom come back in to discuss the new findings, but Tom said 'No," as nothing will change the outlook. We'll pray your 'fullness' is nothing more than that - and that Tom's 'suspicious' nodes are nothing more than that! Nicki
