We made it. Drove out to Denver to help celebrate Brett's fantastic accomplishment of earning his Ph.D. What a great time. Actually was able to put cancer behind me for a few days and just enjoy the ceremonies and celebrations. Busy, busy, but so much fun. Matt and Sara spent the weekend with Kelli and Brett as well so were able to spend time with everyone. Time was short and very packed with graduation activities so did not have the opportunity to see Sue and Ron's new condo or Matt and Sara's new abode. Will just have to try to plan a little longer trip later in the summer. For now, we're back home and it's back to reality.
Tuesday morning at 7:30 am I will check into Mercy for a MUGA scan. For those of you who don't know what that is, in a nutshell, they start an IV and take out some blood which they then mix with some sort of radioactive substance and inject it back into you. Then, you lie down and they take photos of your heart to see how it is pumping and functioning.
Thursday morning, I have a two hour radiation consultation to find out about the process, how that is going to work and when they will do it. That afternoon, more blood work and another consultation. A week from Thursday I will begin my third round of chemo.
Yes, it's back to reality and back to the Cancer Center. Upward and onward.
Later.

Hi So glad that you were able to get to go to Denver. The trip was good for you. Just forget your troubles and enjoy the celebration. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and think only about today. Tomorrow is a new one and you have made great strides. The end is in sight and you are looking great so keep up the good work and keep going forward. One more day one more hour you are lucky to have so be glad and do what needs to be done so all of the poking and pricking can come to an end. See you in the office. Barb

We had a great time and so appreciate Kelli and all the hard work she did to make everyone feel so welcome and make a special day for Brett.
