Some positive notes from my sweetheart - Amy

I just wanted to let you all know, I was reading a bit about sarcomas.
As Einhorn has said it is very good that it has remained localized to
the pelvic area, that is a good sign and typical sarcomas result in a
lower staging when they have not metastisized. Also, the sites I've
read said that radiotherapy can give the same positive outcome as
getting clear surgical margins. So, we are remaining very positive,
and realize even more today how precious each day is.

Dr. Foster and Dr. Jacobson did not want to entertain Dr. Einhorn's
thoughts that it would be possibly inoperable if it were to return.
Dr. Foster says though the surgery would be VERY unpleasant it is
possible that a new tumor in that area could be surgically removed.
Dr. Jacobson, said, "we never say never." He also says we should not
consider the what if's and possibilities, right now we have a job to
focus on recovery and radiotherapy. If it returns then we talk about
where it is, and if or how it can be removed.

The doctors here are just incredibly supportive and wonderful. They
are all very surprised at how great Andrew is doing. Right now he's
flipping through a magazine, watching TV, and eating pretzels. :)

As Andrew's friend Cyndi says, "LiveLong and LiveStrong."


I wouldn't be here without her support and strength. Tomorrow is out 9yr anniversary. I love you, Amy.
