My first consult with the oncologist is next week. The cancer is of the squamous cell type and therefore, not aggressive. Today Im seeing a new doctor that my pulmonologist set up. And I'm confused.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Amish Chicken Corn Soup Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Pasta Yield: 12 servings 1 md Onion; chopped 2 Celery ribs; chopped 1 c Shredded carrots 2 lb Boned, skinned chicken; - diced 3 Chicken bouillon cubes 1 ts Salt 1/4 ts Pepper 12 c Water 2 c Uncooked egg noodles 29 1/2 oz (2 cans) cream-style corn 1/4 c Butter Celery leaves; opt Coarse ground pepper; opt Place first 8 ingredients in a Dutch oven; bring slowly to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in noodles, corn and butter. Cook, uncovered, until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, top with celery leaves and pepper. UDD NOTES: I substituted Minor's/GFS Chicken Base for the bouillon and increased to salt to taste. This works well, with minor adjustments, in a crock-pot. It also freezes well - especially if you have the jar sealer attachment for your vacuum sealer.
