Just Checking In with Update

Hi Everyone...Jack from Washingtonville, NY here.

Went to UConn Medical Center yesterday for node biopsy and excision of skin
from my back.
Good news is that blood work, chest X-ray look normal......nodes in right
arm removed and Squamous removed from chest.

Very fascinating procedure when they trace nodes!

Now the hard part of waiting for the pathology results. Hope to hear before
weekend.

Thanks for being here.

Thanks for the update, Jack.

I'll be here sending positive wishes that you'll get the all clear on the
nodes.

Think positive and it'll get you through the waiting.

If you're having the heat and humidity that we are, put your feet up and have a
cool one.
(if not drink, ice cream/fizzy frozen, splash in the pool, or iced water, or
run through the sprinkler system).

I'll be thinking of you and watching for your next update.

Hopefully it will be good news...... yes the tracing is quite
interesting, where you awake for it?

Hi Jack,

Just sending you good wishes and good "vibrations." I so agree with you that
the "waiting" ... for pathology results ... is hard. A good friend of mine
just went in the hospital yesteday and had two "nodes" in her lungs excised;
she'll be there several days before pathology analysis comes back.

take care, Uncle Sally

Hi Alex....yes I was awake for the tracing. Only took a few minutes for the
Gamma to start showing up on screen.

I am very scared of the results......I am praying and waiting. Friends have
been very supportive.

Thanks for being there.
