I will start with the good: We caught this bitch EARLY! In fact the doctor said that it was so early she almost did not know where to begin. The pet scan showed that it is mostly around the neck and has not spread. She put it at stage one. Apparently the surgeon who removed the thyroid saw some funky stuff and removed the lymph nodes where they were gaining speed. I leave for MD Anderson to consult with an expert on this on Wednesday for a 7 day workup.


The not so good news: Pet scan also showed a 4.4 cm aortic aneurysm. Not quite big enough to open me up again right now but big enough to potentially cause some difficulties during chemo. The chemo will be different and more aggressive: 5 days inpatient 2 week rest because of the aggressive nature of this cancer. I wound up taking my leave earlier for work b/c my head wasn't there.

All in all I stand a good chance of kicking this thing. Thanks for the well wishes and prayers!
Well, on the 2nd part there it is good that was discovered so now the team at MD will know how to clean that up. No doubt you will beat all this quickly. Hang in there.
