She said path results show CLEAR but very CLOSE margins, and that the squamous cells invaded not only the jaw bone but lymphatic tissue in that area too (can anyone tell me exactly what this means?), so they are discussing whether I will do just radiation or if they will combine it with chemo too.
I am kinda down with this news today.
Was hoping for a better report.
I know many of you have been here before ...
Signed Rita, knowing she will beat it but wondering if she is up to the ride at this moment. (just being real)
