Not again!

The dreaded phone call happened yet again…the cancer has returned!  Every time I have been told “it doesn’t look like cancer,” it always is.  I have been so positive through all of this, but I just feel like I keep getting hit over and over again.  I was very optimistic that it was really gone this time but after having my PET scan and having hot spots show up, I just knew it wasn’t a false positive.

My biopsy results came back today that the cancer is now in my lymph nodes on the right side of my neck (previously everything was on the left side).  At this time, I do not know how many lymph nodes the cancer is in and I do not know my treatment options.  I will be meeting with my doctor at the University of Penn this week and my doctor from the Mayo Clinic will also be reviewing everything to give me another opinion.

This is just another set back but, I am going to keep my head up  and continue fighting the fight.
