WEDNESDAY NIGHT....wow am I glad today is over with. It was a long day but certainly worth it. I had an Echocardiogram, a CT scan, a MRI on the brain and a MRI on the lumbar spine. Those MRI's are not fun!!! They put you in a long tub with a helmet thing on your head that just barely fits and they tell you not to move for 1hour 45 minutes!! Well, DA!!! how could you? I also had an appt with the pain specialist that insists that I start taking some pain meds. We both think that it is time because of the pain I am having. We also visited a friend we met here who's mother has cancer and is not doing well at all. So by the time we left the hospital it was 5pm. Just finished subway and I am headed to bed. Pray that the doctors have good news for us tomorrow. We meet with 3 of them starting at 9am. By 2pm we should know what the plan is for treatment. I'm very excited to get started. The patients I talk to are all so positive and keep coming back here for their treatments. It is amazing how most of them are treated and go home cancer free!! That will be me!! Once again thanks for all the prayers and praise God for all He does!! Love to all.

  3. ...what a perfect scripture to post.

    Qwyn, I am so glad you are going to finally start managing the pain. There is no reason for you to totally be superwoman :)

    I pray you receive good news this afternoon and that you and Robbin can enjoy an evening out on the town.

    Keep up your spirits.

    Love, Laura
