My Lumps

not good at all......
remember those 5 lumps i had removed? (05/03/07)
they sent them to the lab.
today (05/16/07) was my follow up.
i have Lymphoma - Cancer of the lymph nodes.

she said i will need:
1. to see an Oncologist, she will refer me.
2. Chemotherapy
3. Cat Scan to look at other Lymph nodes.
great....

i asked her basically wtf lol,
as i was so sure these lumps were just an 'NF2 thing'
she said
"Neurofibromatosis type 2,
causes DNA instability and puts you at risk
for some types of cancers." Dr Chelsea Hardin

hey kc, that stuff you have to drink for the CT scan might be 'barium'?? i had to drink that once for a CT scan of my kidneys. if that is what you need to drink - yucky :) but hey, you're a warrior and will do just fine - woof! i think your appt summary from yesterday is very encouraging. your doctor sounds really caring and reading how attentive he was to YOU nearly brought tears to my non-tearing NF2 eyes :)
woof!

Each fax sent through email will reduce the use of paper, which translates to lesser trees being cut down for making paper.An Online Fax Service Can Save You Money! Save time and money Interesting thing exercising these money provisions is that you do not have to submit any of your papers regarding your personal fact. Remember, getting an online fax service will usually be a long-term affair so choosing the right provider is critical to the smooth operation of your business, especially if you rely upon faxing to do promotions, bring in sales and to keep in contact with your clients. Fax machines are like most other machines, eventually they brake down or need repairs. One such feature is fax over PBX. At the most, it can take only 5 to 7 mouse clicks and your fax message is already on its way to the sender. You can add additional fax numbers, if you need them, and you don't have to worry about adding phone lines as you add fax numbers. You can recycle a lot of things around the office. When you do make the move to online faxing, you should plan on keeping your existing standalone fax machine for the transition phase.
