Our friend had surgery last week. It's now clear that she has an abdominal cancer. The doctor's think they got it all out but want to do radiation on one area and also chemotherapy. Ugh is all I can think. To make matters worse, another friend in VA has also been diagnosed with a tumor, though a very small one (3cm). Next week I'm going in to have these gastric scans, colonoscopy and endoscopy. So many people are having these tests that it looks like an assembly line over at the hospital. All to do with my age. Ugh, I think again. Growing older is no picnic.
