Here we go again


I am not sure how to begin this post....but you know me to my credit or demise I am brutally blunt. So here goes:
Mike and I received some pretty disturbing news yesterday. My PET scan results showed there is another lymph node mass "most likely reoccurent melanoma" there was also something about the muscle being targeted. So my Oncologist made an appointment with my Surgeon for next Thursday, she might not be able to handle this type of surgery. My Oncologist said they may need to refer me to Johns Hopkins or a cancer specialist in one of the many hospitals in Philadelphia. I am hoping and praying we can do this locally, these trips to Philadelphia and Baltimore are brutal (especially coming home from my last surgery).

Right now we are trying not to worry to much and know what ever the outcome will be is in Gods hands.
We ask for your prayers.

We are keeping you in our prayers Lynette. Stay strong. Good thoughts going your way as you fight this!

Burt had a CT scan done this morning, we are awaiting the results, hope they are good. He just finished radiation/chemo and is taking a three week break before resuming chemo in November. So I can understand the anxiety you are dealing with.
