Outcomes and Choices

12 July; Outcomes and Choices

As many of you know, I took an MRI in June, feeling very optimistic. Unfortunately, the outcome was very disappointing. I am taking an MRI again on July 15, this time with mixed expectations. I hope the treatment has been effective.

This next week, I will see my surgeon and doctor and go to MD Anderson in Houston. We will decide whether to have another round of surgery and will also decide on the next phase of chemo treatment. There are several different treatments from which to choose. Although we are “penciled in” for surgery on July 23, everything depends upon the outcome of the MRI. I do not want to have surgery unless it is absolutely required.

Given all these decision, I have stayed home as much as I can, cut back on phone calls, rested and tried to prepare for a difficult time.

I hope I will be able to report a successful statement on this blog and tell friends and family that all is going well.

Thanks again to all of you. I send you all my love.
