Doctor's visit

I had a very important doctor's appt today. My parents from Odessa and my husband and kids were there with me. What a great support team!!! The doctor still maintains that the cancer originated in my pancreas. It is a 9cm lesion and that shocked me. The cancer could have been in my body for as long as 10 years. It is a VERY slow growing cancer, thank goodness and that is the good news. It is NOT the pancreatic cancer where you have months to live. My cancer is treatable and I will probably take SHOTS at HOME!!! I am so excited. My doctors were so excited.

What we are working on now are the symptoms that I am having from my pancreas and liver to make me feel better, then after all of my testing and MD Anderson, I will take my shots. I honestly feel that MDAnderson will come up with the same results. We are concentrating on my pancreas first, then my liver.

I'm just so excited about the news. I may not live till I'm 80 yrs. old, but you never know. God can make anything happen. So, keep the faith.

I appreciate your prayers, cards, and words of encouragement.

Susan
