Subject: BACK AGAIN
Date: 02/21/2008
wife diagnosed in 2005 w cc .had one half of liver removed,told chemo doesnt work just wait and see.march 06 two nodules in lower abdomen removed followed w gemzar , which ended her up in hospital twice.cancer returned in summer of 07 told to just watch as surgeon didnt want to operate  all of doctoring at fox chase. in fall of 07 move to u of penn for third opinion. told options limited , as recurrence is back in regenerated part of liver .chemo suggested . 6 treatments later cancer has grown in liver and mets to pelvic area w spots on colon and who knows where? met w gyno surgeon on 2/20/08 shes hesitant as much scar tissue from previous surgeries .  my beautiful wife now 46 yrs young must now meet w gastric surgeon to see if he will consent to operate w gyno. I knew almost 3yrs ago most people w this dont survive 1 yr if inoperable as i have read the posts for quite a while. i guess I just needed to  get this in print to see how fortunate we have been to have as much time as we have had.  many hard decisions will have to be made as this surgery will buy more time however at what cost?  I really cant complain as shes has been otherwise somewhat healthy . DAY  AT A TIME
