Big day tomorrow
MDA just called - they moved up my appointment and I am set for a biopsy tomorrow.
I am glad - and somewhat scared. There is a 15 % chance of lungs collapsing if the surgeon touches it by accident. Well, I am going to focus on the end results - a definite answer as to where I stand with Hodge Podge. I don't want to give cancer any extra time to bloom -- I want it dead like never before. Yesterday, we met with a radiation therapist and looks like the team is working on a new treatment protocol. They feel the good ol' ABVD exhausted itself and it's time to try something else. Will know what it will be once the biopsy results are in. Wish me luck - that a get a sharp surgeon and a flawless biopsy.

Hi Natalia,
Thinking of you and hoping your biopsy was quick and painless. The not knowing is always the hardest part. I will be sending my prayers for a good response to the next phase and hope that you'll be able to put this year behind you soon.
Much love,
Rebecca from the chatroom
