Apparently it's quite an aggressive tumor, and was well advanced when first discovered, so I was behind the eight ball to begin with. He said to me before I began chemotherapy that the chances of reducing the tumor were not good, but that there was nothing to lose by giving it a try.

Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	I had another appointment with the oncologist yesterday, and since I saw him last he has had a meeting with the surgeon. They have decided that as risky as it is, they have to operate, because to do anything less would be the end of me. They're not even going to try radiation therapy because they don't think the benefit gained from it would offset the damage done by the tumor in the amount of time it would take to complete. I've had a worrying few days because the tumor has started bleeding again already and is causing me some problems, so I don't really have any choice but to go under the knife and hope for the best. I have an appointment with the surgeon on the 28th to organise everything, so when I know more I'll let everyone know what's going on. __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

I'm sure that the doctors will use well their "knife" and take this tumor from you. We'll have plenty of time to see more of your fantastic work and to have your fine coments on our pictures. Always helping us to do to better. You'll win this tumor and your victory is our victory too. And don't forget that you'll have some help, they must be finding you. __________________ ADSUMUS
