After speaking with Terry on the phone today......I think he might appreciate a little help.

Now that Brad ain't here, does anyone else know how to pull off a donation effort?

I was wondering what took so long for the monkey to bring this up. Then I remembered they aren't that smart.
 
for those of you that dont know yet ,my wife was diagnosed with gynecological cancer on friday. we went today to see the oncologist and she is scheduled for surgery at 9am in the morning. so i will be in and out of the shop kinda randomly for the next little while. ill try and keep up with phone calls as i can but if you call the shop and i dont answer just leave a message and ill get back asap. i have several saws that are in progress or in waiting but they will be a few days later than expected. i just dont want people to think i am ignoring messages ,calls or emails.or think that there saw wont get done. i work 7 days a week and nights to keep the porting caught up. i dont like to run more than 2-3 weeks out . dont hesitate to send saws for work ,i will still get it done. ill just be burning more midnight oil than usual.i just have a lot on muh plate right now. ill still be available for calls and emails just on a slightly tighter time frame until this surgery and the final prognosis is given as to what form if any of further treatment will be needed. if all goes well then next week will be back to normal ,but if not i will be closed at random in order to get her to the dr or to treatment when needed. i guess its kind of ironic that i have less time to work at the moment but will be needing the work and money more than ever to keep the bills paid. especially the ones that will be coming in the future. please keep my wife in your prayers,any one that has ever met my wifes knows she has never met a stranger and will do anything for anyone she can. when i say she is my better half ,i absolutely mean it. i thank my cutomers for the understanding

I have been working a ton lately. I hope all goes well Terry.

Well , ive learned that doctors do not communicate well around here. We have been told 10 different diagnosis for what cancer she has. This time i got my hands on the cancer institutes diagnosis.
Final microscopic diagnosis
Residual malignant apocrine carcinoma (with ductal, follicular,and squamous differentiation). This carcinoma extends into the deep margin near the 3 oclock position.

Supplemental report from national cancer institute
Residual spiradenocarcinoma narrowly excised with 1mm negative margin from inked positive center.

My understanding is the aprocrine carcinoma is very rare itself then you add in the differentiation of her particular cancer it gets even more rare.then add to that the location of her cancer and it drops to only 3 cases documented on file besides her. Im waiting in the waiting room right now while she is getting her ct scan for treatment planning. Dr says it will take rest of week to get her treatment planned. She will start radiation next week. They have decided on 25 full pelvic treatments. Which is 5 per week for 5 weeks. Then 10 to 15 more direct focal radiation treatments after the full pelvic is treatment is finished. So i guess we are talking about 7 to weeks now of treatments.
 
Terry, you could also consider Duke University. Dr. Rizzieri is a great Oncologist specializing in rare forms of cancer. Just a thought since your Doc's arent communicating that well .

Any word on progress on this ?
In the meantime Anne and You are very much at the top of Jan,and my prayers lists .
All the best to the both of you. John
 
Wow just saw this and almost feel bad that i sent an email asking about saw prices. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and I hope everything turns out ok.
 
thinking well wishes for ya'll. it's usually tough being a "special" case.

for a very different set of reasons, i've come to hate/dread hearing words
"special" "extremely unusual reaction" "we've rarely seen that in..." and so on from the Drs.

Hang tough and keep at the saws man. seems to be a decent way to not let the worries
have as great of a chance to gnaw at ya!
 
well dr says everything is good to go. she start radiation at 8:30 Monday morning and will take it for 7 weeks 5 days a week.
