So, no surgery for me. There are the concerns with infection and drainage, but also, a plastic surgeon would have to cut a flap of skin from my hip and swing it over (leaving some of it attached for the blood supply) to try and cover the hole from the tumor removal. It's just too major a surgery for someone who has cancer elsewhere - it's just not feasible to go through all that to remove this one tumor, when others could pop up anywhere else at anytime.

I'll start a new chemo drug called Gemzar next week to try and slow or halt the growth. It's a weekly infusion again. I'll also go back to the wound clinic to see if they can come up with a long-term plan to treat my wound.

Otherwise, things are just same-old around here. Sandra's mom gave us a new xmas tree, a really nice one. I've been working on lights for a week now lol. But it's the kind of tree that we can leave the lights on when we put it away, so I won't have to do this again next year. Yay!

Cheers
