Thanks Tom and Gary! I know the saying - it isn't cancer till the doc says it is. The scariest part about this is she's totally broke. No job, no insurance, no nothing. She's making $25 per month payments to the doctor for the last surgery and her radiation was picked up by our state's indigient care program. And if you're ever tempted to think that health care isn't influenced by finances - think again. I've just seen first hand that it IS. Do I think she's had the best care or advice? No way. But still I'm thankful that she got health care at all! As far as second opinions, I have no idea who would agree to see her at this point. MediCaid and every type of social services that she's applied for has turned her down.

I appreciate your support and we'll hope it's not a reoccurance.
