]]> Comment on Recurrent Cervical Cancer by Rhonda http://cimpa.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/recurrent-cervical-cancer/#comment-734 Rhonda Wed, 24 Oct 2007 23:03:17 +0000 http://cimpa.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/recurrent-cervical-cancer/#comment-734 Hey again, Cyber Knife sounds very optimistic to me. That's great. I just went today to my chemo doctor and found out after the re-radiation (different area) and low-dose chemo (Cisplatin), he wants to administer a higher dose chemo a few weeks later. Can't remember the name of the follow-up chemo drug, but he thinks this will be like a clean sweep, hopefully!!!! Have to get a "Pick" line though, darn. Write again if you have a chance.

I am getting my Pet Scan tomorrow preparatory to Cyber Knife at Georgetown Univetrsity Hospital. I am very optimistic that Cyuber Knife will take out what chemo and regular radiation couldn't. Please keep in touch. Hugs, Andrea Dear Rhonda,

Good luck on your CT scan. I am getting my Pet Scan tomorrow preparatory to Cyber Knife at Georgetown Univetrsity Hospital. I am very optimistic that Cyuber Knife will take out what chemo and regular radiation couldn’t.

Please keep in touch.

I go for my first CT scan for treatment in two days. I call it the "tattoo CT". Fortunately for me the first radiation area is below where the cancer has spread to. I have read everything from no survivorability to being able to completely erradicate the cancer. I'm lean towards the later. Good luck to you and God Bless. Talk to you again I hope.

]]> Comment on Purple Hats by Marie Sklodowska Curie http://cimpa.wordpress.com/2007/03/05/purple-hats/#comment-699 Marie Sklodowska Curie Thu, 29 Mar 2007 22:50:43 +0000 http://cimpa.wordpress.com/2007/03/05/purple-hats/#comment-699 Marie Sklodowska Curie Marie Curie was born in Warsaw in 1867, she was the daughter of secondary school teacher and she received her education in local schools and some scientific training from her father. In 1891 she went to Paris, France, to study science. She obtained her higher degrees and conducted nearly all her scientific work there. In 1903, under the supervision of Henri Becquerel, she received her DSc from the ESPCI, Paris, becoming the first woman in France to complete a doctorate. She met and married Pierre Curie, an instructor. Together they studied radioactive materials; the most important pitchblende was the ore from which uranium was extracted. By 1898 they had deduced that the pitchblende must contain traces of an unknown radioactive substance. On December 26, 1898, Marie announced the existence of this substance. Over several years of hard labor, they processed several tons of pitchblende, concentrating the radioactive substances and eventually isolating the chloride salts, later they discovered two new chemical elements. The first, they named "polonium," after Curie's native country, Poland, and the other "radium," for its intense radioactivity. She was the first person to win or share two Nobel Prizes. She is one of only two persons who have been awarded a Nobel Prize in two different fields. She remains the only woman to have won two Nobel Prizes. Marie Sklodowska Curie

But I certainly plan to beat it. I may have to start chemo in early February. But I am feeling well and am keeping busy. I truly appreciate all the messages. Am planning to start a blog on cancer to let everyone know how I am progressing. All the best, Andrea No, Cindi – I have not gotten rid of the cancer. But I certainly plan to beat it.
