Touché. Well played Mark!
I just wish they would move a bit faster. :)

My wife Liz and I laughed out loud when I read this! :D

Thanks for the update. I must say I don't like seeing your post in this section. The waiting game is not fun, but you need the right diagnosis to have the right treatment plan in place. I think I heard that from somebody once, but can't quite remember who.... Oh Well! Seriously, I'll keep think of you and keeping you in my prayers.

I hope things get moving soon on whatever path they determine will get you cancer free the fastest.

Thanks all! Got my brain MRI this morning. Got two calls from my team. They are still working on getting me scheduled for the biopsy. The interventional docs have now reviewed and coordinated with the team and I should hear from scheduling tomorrow or Friday.

I reminded them that this is my number one priority and I am ready on a moments notice to hop in the car and drive there.

The MRI tech did confirm I have a brain and said she got great pictures of it. I did not feel like waiting around for a CD so I will just get the report once it is released on the system.

Thanks again to everyone! What support I have! It is amazing--you are all amazing!

Thanks for the clear and thoughful update Mike.
Right Now you are probably at the Hospital, and I am thinking of you and DEMANDING a good outcome from this. I have it on good authority that the MAN upstairs likes our Rector and She has put in many good words for you.

I can't wait for the curative process to start for you. Every day knowing that it is inside has got to be an unnerving process.

Good luck my friend. We are counting on you.

Sincerely
George

Hi Mike, Was thinking about you a lot yesterday and hoping that your team would have the plan all logged out and a time frame in place. I cannot imagine the frustration in having to wait longer before starting the chemo, but I do see the logic in it.I am sure your team will move as quickly as it is possible to do so- they know they are dealing with someone remarkable who deserves the BEST.
