Waiting for some news

I am waiting to hear from Houston. They should call today and tell me the results of the PET scan. It should say if the cancer has progressed or not. I called at 11:45 and left a message to be called back.
Then I will know for sure if I am doing the IL-2 treatment.
I just hope they call soon.
I will keep you all updated as soon as I hear anything.

Love~

Another long day. . . .

My mom and I went to the hospital today. I had the PET scan done finally. We arrived at the hospital at around 2:15. My appointment was for 3:30. I didn't get called back till 4:30. But I got it done.
We are flying out of Houston at 7:00pm and will arrive in Stl at 9:10.
I should know the results by Monday or Tuesday. That will then give us the okay to go forward with the IL-2 treatment or not.
So I am going to be home for the Poker Run! ! ! ! I am so excited! Everyone should come on out! It is JUNE 20th~ if you have any questions you can call or wait for an update later on this week.

Pleased with the Place

Yesterday was pretty long. I had to be there by 12. Then had to get blood work done. Then found out that the doctor was running behind. So my mom and I went and had lunch to pass some time. Finally met with the doctor around 3:30.
Really liked her and the doctor who is her assistant. A lot of information was thrown at us at once. There is a treatment called IL-2. That is the shortend name for it.
I have to have another PET scan before we decide on the treatment for sure. I am either going to have the PET scan here in Tx today or I will have it done back home and then just have the results faxed down here. I could start the treament as soon as the 29th of this month.
So hopefully I will have the scan done today. Like I said if not then I will have it done back home. My mom and I will be flying out tomorrow.

Love~

M.D. Anderson Update

So.....

Last week I asked my mom a question. I think that question freaked her out.

This week there wasn't anything new going on. We were just waiting to go June 9th to the Oncologist again in STL. Then we found out I will see the surgen on June 11th. So an appointment on the 9th and on the 11th.

My mom started thinking it can't hurt to be productive. So she contacted M.D. Anderson to see if they would see me. We had an offical no from New York and an offical no from Maryland. Both of those doctors said that M.D. Anderson would say the same thing.

While we were waiting for next week to come, why not get an offical yes or no from M.D. Anderson themselves. So my mom had all my information faxed down to Houston. They recieved it yesterday. My mom then told me what was going on. I didn't get to emotionally attached because I didn't expect to hear back from them quickly.

I was wrong. I heard from them today! I have an appointment to be seen on June 11, 2009. So quick. So tonight I am looking up flights and based off that is when I will head down there. My mom is going to go with me.

I will give an update after I find out for sure the flight days and such.
Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers!
Love~

The Dinner

Thank you to everyone: For coming and those who helped.

The night was so beautiful. I was praying it wouldn't rain. I got my pray answered. It was a wonderful evening. A little over 50 guests attended. The food was to die for. I mean it was so good. I wanted to lick my fingers and plate, but didn't. Everyone was in good spirits.

I couldn't have asked for a better night. Thank you to everyone who helped and was involved. You all know who you are! I am thankful.

love~
