Sunshine!

Wow……….what a beautiful way to start a day. Sunshine streaming through the window. It was double special because all we saw Sunday was a steady drizzle of rain.

And now tonight I’m in Seattle. My friend Sue & I came over this afternoon. The pass was clear and the traffic was minimal for a holiday weekend.

We’re now safely ensconced in our hotel, which is only minutes from my doctor’s appointment in the morning. My oncologist at home wanted me to go back for a visit with my surgeon after 4 months of chemo………..Four months. Can you believe it’s really been four months already? And this hotel has a free shuttle service to the hospital (where the doc’s office is located). That will at least save us the cost of parking.

I received a copy of my MRI test results the other day. There was absolutely nothing to link the back pain to any kind of cancer. Yea for good news. But really, they found NOTHING. Hopefully my GP will now be able to start me on physical therapy or something else to get rid of the back pain. Now that we know it doesn’t have anything to do with cancer, I just want to have the pain go away.

I may not find out the results of the CT scan until I see my other doctor on January 27. But my doctor tomorrow will get a copy of the scan, so he may be able to give me an idea of what the results are.

That’s all for tonight. We’ll be getting back home late Tuesday night, so I’ll try to get another update out Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks to all of you who follow me via this blog.
