Okay so Jeremy was a little annoyed at the lack of information that I posted so I guess I will be more specific. So I had the MRI today and the liver was clear. One of the great things about working where I do is I can get most of the tests done and get the reports quickly. I talked to my oncologist tonight and he is still cautiously optimistic but is still concerned about the nodes in my chest cavity and he still is concerned with my spine.

So he talked to another radiologist today and was told that the nodes in my chest cavity are too small to biopsy so he wants to do another lumbar biopsy only this time do it on the L3. I believe that will happen on Monday. I think he is about ready to start me on Chemo I am guessing that will be next week. I am also meeting with a surgeon that works at Mayo Clinic on Monday mornning. So I will be able to have both opinions on what needs to happen. I am feeling much better now and more optomistic. I must admit on from Monday till today I have not been as upbeat. So I think that is all the details now. I should talk to the oncologist tomorrow and find out for sure the plan.

    Dear Kris,

    I think it is absolutely necessary for the oncologist or others of your doctors to order all the tests they feel are necessary to completely diagnose your cancer; however, it bothers me somewhat that they say you "might have this," and "you might have that" before test results are in. It puts you on the giant roller coaster each time this happens.

    I'm just glad you get your results quickly. Love, Jessie
