She finally had her appointment at Emory on Monday. The doctor confirmed that the cancer in her lungs and abdomen is pretty much gone. Praise God!!! And he agreed on the chemo treatments that they are giving her - but he said that she really needed to have surgery to remove the ovaries. That patients respond much more successfully when they are removed. So she will be having surgery at Emory at some point in the future. She still has to schedule appointments with the surgeon. Her doctor here said "no surgery" so we are a little ticked about that. But I'm glad that she got that 2nd opinion that we all had to ask her to do for us! He also said that the chemo she is receiving now should work on the cancer that showed up on her spine. Her next chemo is Monday. It will be her 4th treatment.
