At last RPLND

[Scott]

Dominic, how is Alex?

[Scott]

I'm so glad to hear Alex's recovery is going well and treatment will soon be behind him!

Well the next phase on Wednesday. Alex is having the first of two operations at Sloan to take the tumors out of the lungs, Dr. Baines says there are 12. We thought there were only four.

His HCG is still 0 and he has recovered from the RPLND much faster than they thought. It will only be four weeks between operations.

The end is near.

Domenic, what great news.....when you said you want Alex back to school in August...it made me think of Chris last summer...he had his RPLND with wonderful Dr. Sheinfeld on July 22 and made it back to his Junior Year in College by August 17!!!! I wish the same for Alex....Mary Ellen

[Scott]

I'm so glad to hear the good news!

Domenic:
That's great news. Now the end of this mess really is in sight. NO LIVE CANCER

[DianeE]

That is wonderful news. This will all be behind you soon.

Isn't it funny how "negative" is the most
postive word we can hear?

The Pathology Report came back today, everything came back negative! We meet with the lung surgeon in two weeks, if we can get that done next month Alex is off to school in August. What an emotional day that will be.

[Mom]

You sound so happy. Alex is a trooper. It's great to hear he is doing so well. Dianne

I am glad to hear this, there truly is no place like home. Hope he has a speedy recovery from his surgery. April

Alex came home today and is doing great!!! Dr. Scheinfeld (a God in my eyes) is very pleased with his progress. He told us on Monday that his HCG was 0. We are waiting for the Pathology report, maybe in the next two days but all indications are very good.

It was great meeting Bill and Nancy and having a very nice lunch. That was Alex's worst day but by Sunday he was in good spirits and feeling much better.

We meet with the lung surgeon in two weeks and hope to get that done as soon as possible.

Of everything he went through the biggest complaint Alex has is the 5g diet, he wants a big juicy hamburger!

So glad to hear you all had a meal at that Little Mexican restaurant we ate in last summer....I have great memories of that meal...we were on Cloud Nine because Chris was doing great....and we had alot of laughs...Mary Ellen

Just wanted to wish Alex a speedy recovery!

[dadmo]

That would be great.

Dadmo, I know this thread is about Domenic and my thoughts are with him but I wanted to tell you that my parents live in Philly and next time I come home for a few I am coming to Jersey to meet you and your wife. Maybe we can truck it to Sloan and see some other survivors. Apache
