Cancer conference today

I went to the cancer conference today at Providence.
Cancer Center.
About 30 assorted doctors attended.....My doctors Gower and Stewart,
the pathologist and radiologist that read my PET, CT and thyroid scans were there too.
I was the first one discussed and boy they sure did. I saw all the tissue slides and heard them discussed by the pathologist and opinions were offered from anyone else who wanted to voice one.
The PET, and CTs were viewed and discussed. Questions were asked if I had had a bronchoscopy
done to look down in my lungs for any tumor.... No , not yet, but it was voted on that I have it done and so next Tuesday it will probably will happen.
But on Monday I will have a Groshong catheter inserted through my upper chest into a big vein and there
I will receive the chemotherapy starting the next week. Google "Groshong Catheter" for details.

Chemotherapy and radiation therapy to the lymph nodes in my chest will start the following week....it's spring break here for a week and then things will start.....

I'm feeling fine.....thank you all for the heart felt love and well wishes.
