No News Yet

I wanted to post an update even though I don’t really have any new news to share. I have not yet heard from Dr. Nauta and our theory is that he was giving me a break over the holidays since we wouldn’t be doing anything before the new year anyway. I decided that while I appreciate this thoughtfulness, I need to know “something” and put a call into his office today. His secretary, who knows me well, said she would make certain he called me back today, even if it was just to tell me that he has nothing to tell me yet. That’s all I need.

Dr. Lange and I talked only briefly about this recurrence when I saw him. I think the timing of this caught him off guard and he was hit as hard as us. I did break my record for the longest period without a recurrence, but we were hoping I’d get to at least 2 years. I still may as we don’t know what the plan will be and I’d like to delay another surgery if at all possible. I just started feeling strong and well enough to travel – I’m not ready to give it all up yet!!
