Hi Amy, My Mom had her scan today and now we wait, some more. Her CEA test of her blood came back 1.7 which I am very excited about. My Mom is considering Anderson in Houston, she lives in Florida, I in NY.She could also go to Sloan Kettering and stay with me. I guess she will make her decision when we get more answers. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time you have taken to write , if I could I would HUG you right now. It somehow helps to not feel like you 're alone. I don't know why but it does. So one day , I will remember and pay it forward!! All good things to you and Hans, I will keep you posted. Ellen
