What's next???

Hello Everyone!
My apologies for not posting anything in the past few days. One of my best friends got married this weekend and I was her Maid of honor. Check in the photo gallery for some pictures of the wedding. I will also post some pictures of the sorroundings of the clinic later this week. My friend lives in a very small town in Wisconsin and there was no Internet access nor cell phone service. So you could imagine how crazy my mom and I were going.

Anyway..... I want to update you on my health situation. After all the analyses on Wednesday, I saw the oncologist on Thursday as well as an endocrinologist. The results of the CT scan were somewhat scary. The oncologist brought to my attention that in addition to the nodules in my neck there were very tiny "spots" in my lungs. There is a possibility that those tiny "spots" in the lungs are just scar tissue from a previous infection. But there is also the possibility of them being cancer that spread from my neck to the lungs. Because the "spots" are so tiny (less than 3mm in diameter), there is no way yet to determine if they are cancer or not. Both of my doctors (oncologist and endocrinologist) think that right now it is more important to focus on the bigger disease in the neck, remove it, and afterwards take care of whatever is in the lungs. And Yes, another surgery will be needed to remove the nodules in my neck. Hopefully it will be the last one.

Now, I am getting ready for more appointments on Tuesday. I have appointments to see an ENT and a general surgeon. Also on Tuesday, I have appointments for an ultrasound and X-rays. I will keep you posted on whatever happens after Tuesday.

Thanks to all of you for showing your support.
Much Love,
Laura
