Those family times and connections are important no matter what our circumstances. My best to Liz as well. Look forward to hearing from you even if just to hear you're back home.
Best wishes... Catherine

Thanks Catherine! I won't know anything tomorrow but I will report out. I might get to watch the x-ray monitor if the sedation doesn't put me to sleep.

My appointment with my oncologist is already set for Thursday.

Had a great dinner with my son and daughter-in-law. Told them to ask anything at any time by any means (face to face, phone, text, email) and made sure they have the number for the cancer counseling line.

One thing about this being my third round of this cancer thing. We are very open and hug often and say what's on our mind. No saving stuff for the last minute or risking things not being said.

YIPPEE on the brain scan, and also on getting in on Monday. Hope you can try to do something relaxing and enjoyable this weekend. I can only imagine how hard the waiting must be.

Best wishes,
