Tests are Back

The Doctor called yesterday and announced that the cancer was found in the right tonsil. I am relieved that it did not show up anywhere else as the prognosis is more grim with more sites. The next step will be a referral to a radiation oncologist to determine if I will need radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, or some combination of these. I am crossing my fingers and hope that the radical neck dissection will be ruled out......allergic to pain.

  1. I am a friend of Rachel. I read about your need of prayer on her FB. I clicked the link to follow your progress. Just want to let you know that I'm praying for you both.

  3. Tony, I have been following your blog and thinking of you. Prayers are being said. Couldn't figure out how to post comment until now and it might still not work. You know me.... always calling for help. Take care and I know it will all be okay. Kathy
