MD Anderson Update
I had my appointment at MD Anderson today. The doctor reviewed my records and examined me. She wants to consult further with the pathologist to try to determine which kind of cancer I have, since that will affect my treatment. She will present my case to the team of specialists on Thursday and I will meet with her again on Friday to discuss my options. We were going to stay at a hotel near the medical center but since I won't be needing further tests, I came back to my mother's house about an hour away to spend the week and my husband went back to Austin to get in a couple of days work. He'll come back for the doctor's appointment and to take me home Friday.

The people at MDA were great! I feel very good about entrusting my care to them. But no more news until Friday! :hi:

4. You're in the best of hands.
The folks at MD Anderson know their stuff. Let's hope they figure stuff out and get your treated ASAP.

6. Thanks, Y'all!
There was mention of a possible clinical trial. Since my cancer is Stage IV, I'm hopeful I can get into it. We'll see. :hi:
