Colleen Young, I am still waiting for a call to schedule an appointment with an Oncologist who is supposed to be one of the best if not the best in my hometown. Right now it seems that they are concerned about me fully recovering from my surgery and I have home health and home PT that come out once a week.

My surgeon had advised me that there is Chemo available that would not make me sick or make me feel bad. I cannot understand why then they are waiting for my full recovery and have PT trying to get me stronger if not to survive the Chemo. I have read about people going into the hospital from the side effects of Chemo and having to stop the treatments because they are so ill. Sounds to me like this easy Chemo is just a lie to keep me going forward with treatment.

As I understand it the Chemo is not supper effective anyway. That is why I had the surgery first instead of having Chemo and Radiation treatments on my tumor before the surgery. Seems to me that Chemo at best will slow down the growth and, in some cases, (not many) will reduce the size of the tumor. It will not it seems to me kill the cancer inside me like the treatments for breast cancer did for my sister. When she had surgery after chemo and radiation the lab report was negative for any live cancer cells. All that remained was dead cancer cells.
Just waiting to see the oncologist and see what he has to say.

Thank you for the follow up. Best of luck to all with your fight against cancer.
