It has been a while since I have been able to post. I have been busy with my business and traveling back and forth to medical appointments with my mom.

We had two appointments with two different

Oncologists taken from an online Dictionary:

The first appointment was with what is called a medical oncologist, who deals with chemotherapy etc. He said that her tumor was 1.3 centimeters in size and that if it was 1 centimeter or less he would be completely comfortable with her just having the radiation treatments.  But since it was bigger then he expected, even tho all the other signs are positively pointed, he wants to do another test on the tumor having something to do with the DNA.

It is my understanding that this test will tell if the cancer is likely to come back without chemotherapy treatments.  If the test is negative she can go ahead with the radiation treatments. They will have to send the tumor sample to California to be tested, and we should know in 10 - 14 days. 

So we are… of course… hoping that it will test negative and she won’t need chemotherapy. 

Later…
