Gary and Minniea, thank you for the responses and Joanna, thank you very much. You said it all in your post. Aunt Ro and I haven't had the time to talk seriously yet as this is brand new news, but I'm faxing her everything that's been said thus far. The only thing I did say to her the other day is that she HAS to throw something else- something different into the treatment mix since surgery alone can and often does leave behind stray cancer cells that can't be detected by any means that we have available to us now. Having been a member of this Board for the last three years, I wouldn't put any stock in a third occurrence. I'd like to see her doctors roll out the cannons and blast this thing now while she's got a fighting chance.

Joanna, I'll get back to you privately about your offer.

Love to all. Keep fighting the good fight!
