the news is not good

[Guest guest]

W's biopsy came back evaluated as class III (3) cancer, showing involvement

of 2 of 6 lymph nodes sampled from the removed colon section. Will start chemo

in 2-3 weeks: once a week for 6 weeks, then 2 off; and repeat 4 times, total

32 weeks -- more than 6 months -- " to reduce the risk of the cancer returning. "

But the oncologist would not even give us a percentage of success in reducing

such risk, so that is pretty unsettling. Needless to say, my own surgeries

are on hold once again. Sure seems Somebody Up There is trying to tell me not to

have them..............
