Wow!  Wonderful news, Brian!  Time to give a prayer of thanks to whomever, and raise a glass in gratitude.

Not so good news... The went in today and just did a deeper biopsy. It seems that they are now sure that it is a tumor and probably Lymphoma. The big C. However once they know what they will be dealing with after the pathology report comes back and they will know how to treat it.

Rose is home but sore. they went in from the inside of her lip into her sinuses. Should know more next week. Not the greatest news but the doc are confident that this will be treatable.

OK, this means we've gone from toasts to good health back to Rosary Beads.  That sucks, bummer, etc...   ::banghead:: ::banghead::

You guys are in my prayers, Brian.

Well, the roller coaster is on the downhill slide.....

Rose got the test results back. It's cancer. Her doc is afraid that it may have spread. The only good news (if there is any) is that is is of a type that responds well to chemo. They are being aggressive with it. At 9:30 tomorrow morning we'll be at the oncologists so Rose can get a head to toe CAT scan, Bone Marrow biopsy, and her first dose of Chemo. Gonna be a long day. The hospital's PET scanner is down for repairs but as soon as it's up, she's getting a PET scan as well. Gonna be a long winter. Me only working part time and Rose on half pay from her temporary disability policy... When it rain's, it pours bricks.  ::banghead::

Brian and Rose,

Thinking of you both---have no clue what to say---my mother in law went thru similar and is doing OK right now--2 years later. I sent her the following when I found out--Give the following to Rose--it may bring a smile on an otherwise shitty day:

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she had only three hairs on her head. “Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today.” So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. “H-M-M, she said, “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today.” So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. “Well,” she said, “Today I’m going to wear my hair in a pony tail.” So she did and she had a fun, fun day.  :D

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head. “YEAH!” she claimed, “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”  ::whistle::

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING. Have a Good Day!

I think G-Man basically said it all so I can only add my best wishes and my thoughts are with you.

Just an update...

Rose had her Marrow Biopsy and her first round of chemo yesterday. So far she feels fine. The steroids they had her on already shrunk the tumor enough that she can see from her left eye again. The chemo will really knock it down. The doc's are VERY confident that this can be beaten fairly easily with just chemo as long as it hasn't spread.

Rose get's her PET scan on Tuesday and a second dose of Chemo on Friday. Then she has 3 weeks off until the next round.
