Half Full? May 24, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : In A Family Way , trackbackIf you remember this post, we got some news today. It is not all bad. The cup is half full.
There is no cancer in Lauren’s lymph system. However, the tumor they removed has rough edges. We were told (and I say it this way because it is second hand news) that she will need 4 rounds of chemo. She will need to stay in the hospital 5 days, go home for 9, back in the hospital 5, etc.
She’s only 19. Life sometimes sucks…

Small favors, eh? I’m glad it hadn’t spread. At least it sounds like the chemo will be over with fairly quickly.
Poor girl. That’s a lot to deal with at any age. Sending good thoughts for a quick and complete recovery. (I recall reading a blog by someone who had had a similar type of ovarian tumor in her early 20s and was fine 10 years later, so in my limited experience, the odds are very good.)
