2nd go-around - 04-02-2010 02:33 AM
Hello all,
Seems Penny is in for a tough time again. Facing a tough choice and will have more information tomorrow. After path results from gloss and dissection- there was an additional spot in specimen we were unaware of and that spot had spindle-cell componants .2cm from margins. Dr's state she does not have the cancer anymore- there is (their term) "cancerous dust" too close. So offering either more Radiation/chemo (5 fu/carboplatin/erbitux) or just the chemo/erbitux and no radiation. So the scene is set for this dust to possibly develop. Recommending the above as to create a hostile environment-preventative if you will-so choice is chemo/ erbitux or rad/chemo/erbitux. Seems scary for radiation a 2nd time as preventative? Will keep you posted.. thanks for being here
