Welcome home, Carole ...


Well, my beloved Carole (of Carole and Cathi fame)has had a rough month or so. She was having trouble breathing last month. At a check-up, they found that her tumor markers were way up as well. And so, another new journey began. What "they" found was that Carole's ovarian cancer had worked its nasty-ass self into the linging of her lung, causing what is referred to as pleural effusion.
She had to go in for surgery(s) to get the fluid off of her lung and try to get a better idea of what they were dealing with.
She found out that the thoracic surgeon had pulled 1.5 liters of fluid off of her lung. Can you imagine trying to BREATH with that nonsense going on?
In any event, she is home and recovering very well. Next step is to move on to another trial or systemic treatment that will help her fight the beast ... and win.
considering how many times she's kicked its ass in the past, I've no doubt that she will, again, come out of the battle victorious.
You are in my heart and prayers, doll.
xoxo
Anna
