Darn it all! All she wanted was to enjoy Christmas before starting on more chemo. Hopefully, these stents will work and she will still be able to enjoy festive activities with her family.
I just hate this, but I no way am counting her out - just a side trip for now. Hope you don't have to spent too much time in the big house! -Ashlee

Went in for surgery for a cyst on my bladder, and they found colon cancer growing on the outside of the colon. Got to have two surgeries at the same time! Stage 3, one node involved.
