Here in Billings! I had a Ct scan of my chest, as and pelvis an they all came out clean! Yea! My Oncologist is pretty optomistic about these lesions on my brain but the Neurosurgeon is a bit freaked out. He says he ca't biopsy them and they just need to come out. They're looking for a Friday surgery. He thinkd they have a role with the ovarian cancer and that I should be prepared for that. In the meanwhile my oncologist is calling around the nation talking to neuro-oncologists to see if what they are planning ondoing is the best thing for me. I completely trust him and will discuss his recommendations when he has all his info gathered.

I'm really scared. I don't want my brain cut into. They need to take out a window sized piece near the occiput (lower back skull) and then remove the tumors. Then they take a piece of my TFL and replace the dural matter then replace the bone. The whole process takes about 5 hours. (I think I;m gonna have a BIG headache after that! Guess I'll be in ICU for a couple of days then here at the hospital for a week. Yucko!

They're talking about placing some chemo tablets into my brain before they close it up. It will help to get rid of anything that may be left over.

ill write moretomorrow, I'm tired tonight. Bob is watching the BB game and I will fall asleep to it!

Thanks for all your letters of encouragement!

Love,
Katie
