That's what we were told by Dr. LaQuaglia. So it's a no go on the surgery... at least for now. Should we be able to shrink things, then we can reevaluate. For now it's going to be a little more chemo :( and hope for a trial to open up? Most of the things that we've looked at/into work best when there's minimal disease. Emmah doesn't exactly have a heavy disease burden at this particular time, though what she does have is still causing her discomfort. She had a flare up this morning reminiscent of that Monday morning in Wisconsin. So she ramped up on her pain meds and as of my writing this, she's doing better. Hopefully it was an isolated incident and not a precursor of things to come.
I've talked with her and we're going to mix it up a bit and try a different chemo mix for the next round... something she's had before. Gotta keep those damn cancer cells on their toes.

At times unwanted, but often are we uncomfortably thrust into living with it. To borrow part of a line from the movie Heartbreak Ridge, "You adapt, you overcome"...
In memory of Emmah ~ KEIYH
A small request... please
I have a small request and it won't take up much of your time.
Now that Emmah's spirit has left her physical body behind and has completed it's journey "home" I would very much like if you could all take a moment and reflect on Emmah... whether you knew her personally or not. Let us know how she touched/affected or made a difference in your life.
I especially would like to hear from those of you who know/knew her, what your fondest memory or memories of her are. Funny stories and what you remember her likes and dislikes to be (no matter what they are) and what word/words you would use to describe her.
In order to keep all of those thoughts in one place, please, please use this link only for this purpose only.
Thank-you
