Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Those darn nodes

Well I had my untrasound this afternoon of my clavical (collar bone) area. They found one node that is 8mm big. It showed black on the screen. The ultrasound technician got the ultrasound doctor (I don't know his technical term) to come look. He agreed with what she found. He will write a letter to my medical oncologist and my radiation oncologist. They will do one of two things: biopsy it or watch and sees if it goes away or grows after radiation. It is a bit unsettling that with all the chemo that I have had I could still have stuff growing in me. Did the chemo even work? It makes me wonder if I have cancer other places too. Always so may questions and so few answers.

Well I will see the radiation oncologist tomorrow and my medical oncologist on the 29th. So by the end of March I should have some answers. I think I may ask them to biopsy the node to see if it is cancer or not and then I know what I am dealing with.

A bit of a down day.

Love Carolin
