Howdy folks,
Many of you kn
Howdy folks,
Many of you know Fred Winterling, and how his wife Patsy had been diagnosed with cancer. She had surgery which was very successful, and the following is the email that he sent to me and Mark regarding her followup consultation with her oncologist. I would like to personally thank you folks for showing Fred so much support. I'm honored to be in such good company ------------------ Fred says: More great news about Patsy's prognosis: A consultation with the medical oncologist today determined that Patsy is a candidate for Hormonal Therapy. It was recommended that she not need Chemotherapy or Radiation treatment and that she begin Hormonal Therapy. She will be taking Femara ( a very expensive drug ) for 5 years, but will not need chemo or radiation. The doctor stated that taking chemotherapy along with the hormonal treatment would only be beneficial minimally, at best. That means that she will be able to return home to Virginia and take a pill every day for 5 years. She will see the doctor again in 3 months to be sure that she is having no problem with the drug. She will, however have to remain in Baltimore another 10 days or so because she had some fluid in the surgery area that had to be drained and they may to drain it again next week. The fluid was causing some swelling and some discomfort (especially sleeping) and the draining should help to lessen that discomfort. I am totally convinced that this great news is a direct result of all the prayers and support from all the wonderful people on this forum. I am indebted to all of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for such dramatic support. I would like to ask that you make an annoucement to the general forum concerning this news... Thank you again for all your prayers and thank you Sherry for posting to the Church bass group and for all their prayers. God bless you all!! Sincerely Fred Winterling ---------------- ttfn, Sherry |
