This is adorable "Lucky," the child who lost her leg when her abductors threw her out the train window, as described in this morning's posting. I thought you'd like to see her happy smile.

The nurse practitioner (fantastic person, by the way) couldn't tell for sure what that mass is. But her most likely explanation is that the lymph node was related to an infection somewhere and the chemo targeted it, thus causing swelling and inflammation. It's already much better than it was yesterday, so we went ahead with chemo, which again was very kind to me. We're assuming that the mass will gradually go away. She did agree that it was good to check on it, especially since the C-T scan three months ago had picked up on something there. We hope this is the end of it.

My cancer buddy got his scan report today; so far, his lung is clear of cancer. Thank God!
