EXTRA praise that no underlying cancer was found.
EXTRA care as we go ahead. The fact that the excision did not give "clear" margins was not a surprise. Deb will be followed closely every three months since the recurrence rate is high.
EXTRA special hospital. Her follow up will probably be done at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in NY city--a hospital dedicated to cancer treatment. They have state of the art treatment and
EXTRA ordinary clinical trial that provides a cream treatment rather than surgery for recurring Pagets.
EXTRA provision has been granted by our insurance company to cover the cost of a hospital outside our area.
EXTRA grace will be received as we continue to navigate these paths unknown to us.

EXTRA thanks are due to all you who have stood with us.
