The cancer seems to be localized. We go to discuss our options next Monday with the doctor. She still coughs a lot and spits up blood in the morning mostly, when she first gets up. The longer she sleeps and the more she coughs, the more blood she spits up. Donna is her normal self the rest of the day. Coming in from the cold also causes her to cough. It is times like this that we treasure what we have with our love for each other. Donna just reminded me that the doctor needs to look at her CAT Scan and PET Scan to be sure that the cancer is localized. TomD

I am keeping my fingers crossed for Donna. I cannot imagine how hard this must be for her and her family to go through.

Hi Tom, Thanks for the update. I also hope the the scans deliver as much good news as they can. The strength and dignity with which you both fight this battle has been and continues to be inspirational. Thank goodness that you have each other, and that we have both of you. Jay

In the range possibilities, "localized" is good, right? Thanks for the update. We're all hoping for the best.

Be safe. Be kind.
