Title: Lot going on (one down and praise God)
Post by: BenBow on July 09, 2015, 09:21:00 PM

Just found out my left carotid is totally blocked but I pretty sure its been that way since I had chemo 3 years ago. Meeting with a vascular Dr to see what he wants to do.
AND Looks like I'll start radiation on one of the two larger tumors.  Chose the one that had the least possibility of damage to surrounding tissue. The hope is it will stop growing for another year or more and if it works I'll decide if we do the other large tumor. May change my mind and do bpth.  15 days of radiation over 3 weeks. Not supposed to have very bad side effects. Hope is we can extend the time before having to have another major surgery. If we do nothing it looks like surgery again mid next year   :(    Praising God for either a miracle or this works. Praising God regardless and if He takes me home then I get  the best but I don't want to leave Maxine alone.
