I'm very touched by all of your posts and well wishes and for those close to me, please forgive me for not including you during these last two weeks. I just needed to find out what path I am taking before passing on any information. There was just too many "what ifs".

I had to have a real belly laugh this morning. I guess I'll have to shave my legs and pits just before going into the hospital....just in case I get a warm sponge bath from a hunky intern.

Harpmom: Thank you so much for posting such an encouraging story. I'll have to ask the surgeon about those injections. My prayers going out for your Dad.

Debbie: One of the signs of this type of cancer is recurring pneumonia and if you recall, I was sick in March too.
