        I find this very distribing.  I know everyone had their opinion.  I try to have mine on facts.  I write my senators and congressman.  I know many may feel its no use, but I still think they hear our voices. 

        I wish everyone who had clinical trials and help from NIH that this will be a short shutdown.

        Thoughts are with you!

              That actually sounds great.  If the margins are free, you should be good for awhile.  But that up to you and your Oncologist.  Great!  and Best Wishes to you. 

              Always think positive…..it helps your immune system, I swear it!

                    I had a brain tumor.  It was benign, and I still needed surgery.  A brain MRI is what they gave me back in 2006.  CT scan won't cut it and neither will a PET Scan.

                          I am also having a slight problem with a lymph node near my corated (SP?) artery.  I am monitoring this with my primary care provider.  He was the doctor who caught my recurrence in 2006.  If you are physically okay…. Maybe  walking into things and mood swings…maybe you are depressed?  People hate to think this, but it can sneak up on you.   It happend to me.  I think most cancer paitients go through this.  Just a thought.

                                To take interferon for your family is really crazy.  I was given high dose for 4 or 5 days I can't remember becasue it messed with my brain.  And I think it is the problem for most of my immune issues I have now after I took it.  I'm Stage IIIB.  and I'm 29 years out.  My recurrence was in 2006.  After the interferon disaster I did nothing, except some herbal detox and organic diet.  I'm still here.
