Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 21 | This is really bad news after all the pain, trials and tribulations. But it is just the next leg of the journey I guess.
I appreciate words of encouragement I have gotten in the past, along with a lot of information to understand what was going on along the way. You guys are great.
I am not sure where this part of the journey will take me, but I will fight with all my might!!!

It would help if you could give us more information. I am sure you are a little upset by having it return.
I too had mine return and then had to have Chemo and Radiation. So do not give up.. OK?
I am now 1 1/2 years out and I think I am doing OK.
Others will soon answer you.
bye for now..
Take care,
Diane.

Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 21 | I am still awaiting an appointment at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville - I guess the tumor board is reviewing my case. I still don't know what the plan is, that is what is so scary. i am sure it will involve surgery and chemo, as I have already had radiation here at my local cancer center in Georgia.
Looking at all of your responses lets me believe there is hope, and I am hanging on to that for sure!
