First Entry

I was diagnosed with cancer of "unknown primary" on August 1, 2007. What that means is that although they found 4 masses in my liver, they know it's not liver cancer (liver cancer isn't "primary" - it didn't start there). They haven't been able to find the source, where it started. It has metasticized to my liver from somewhere however!

Because it is unknown, it's very difficult to put a label on me that answers the question, "What kind of cancer do you have?" It also makes it difficult to treat.

I'm off for the second session of my second series of chemotherapy treatments in 1/2 hour, but I wanted to get this blog up and running before I left.

I will be writing about my expeiences and thoughts as we go along. More later...
