Some news . . .

After requesting that Roswell fax my medical records and reports to Yale and Memorial Sloan Kettering, I received word from Memorial Sloan Kettering that they have determined that I would not be a surgical candidate. I didn't ask why. I wasn't particularly surprised. Roswell feels the same way. However, it makes me wonder if things have progressed to the point where Yale will ultimately come to the same conclusion. Charles and Dr. Detterbeck will be looking at my scans and reports this weekend and will be calling us Monday to let us know. We have a tentative appointment to meet with Dr. Detterbeck this coming Wednesday. We'll see if that happens. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend. The last few days have been crazy and have taken their toll both physically and emotionally. I need to re-fuel and so does my sweet husband. I honestly don't know how spouses of cancer patients do it. There are times when I feel this is harder on him than it is on me.

It's all in the Lord's hands. Knowing that gives me a tremendous amount of comfort and peace.

    Chris, this is disappointing, but I have a huge amount of confidence in Yale! I'll be praying hard that you get the green light from them and I'll be seeing you soon! Caring always, Jackie

    My heart is aching right along with you. Thank you for being brave enough to tell us all what's going on. Hang in there Chris!

    Don't lose faith Chris, you always tell me that. You told me yourself that you felt strongly this was going to be a fight. I know that Dr. Detterbeck is going to be the one who will help you ultimately, whatever route he feels is best.

    Have you picked up Sam at the airport yet? He was sent to Buffalo for kicking his mother non stop while getting diapers changed, (with a terrible, evil laugh the whole time) and for throwing everything at Mom and Sissy. Anyway, I bet he'll help you feel better!
