Thanks for the info everyone!

I forgot to mention that the most recent pathology report indicated that only one lympth node had cancer and that it had grown to a large mass the size of a fist. The Dr. at MD Anderson said that this node probably had the cancer all along.

Either way it is still worriesome that the RAD was not effective. I hope MD Anderson can come up with a more effective treatmeant.

We are all very hopeful. Mom is feeling much better. I heard the cancer takes alot out of you by your body trying to fight it off.

thanks,
Rick
