I am so very sorry for your loss. May he be at peace, and may you find peace also in time.

Next step is surgery. Waiting to see how well the chemo/rad worked. In crazy pain, so I hope that means the rotten cancer is headed back to the hell it came from!!! MRI is on the 12 of September.

Teddi

Hurray!!!!! May it be the first of many!!

Hope this is what it's supposed to look like. Please correct me if it's not the right format.

Thanks!

I am so sorry. I am not good with words at a time like this, but know I am thinking of you, and wishing you peace and clarity at this time.

Teddi

Congratulations! Keep that NED bench warm for us, OK? Hopefully we can join you

When I first got diagnosed I was in a particularly peevish mood and I told the oncologist I was bummed I had a crappy cancer that didn't even have a pretty ribbon.
