Phew??

Well. Yesterday we met with Rob's oncologist.

The nasty that was on the right lobe is almost gone - what the?? I know! Amazing. We are going to celebrate that and not think about it (well, for at least another three months).

There is a bit of nasty on the left lung now. The doc is concerned about it, but the three of us decided not to think any more about it - until his next scan in December. At that time he will have a more detailed CT to help identify what exactly is showing in his left lung.

Right now, we are just counting our blessings and are sooooo grateful for the many prayers that have been said in Rob's behalf.

We are enjoying each other's company and are making many memories - regardless of what will happen. We don't want to take the time we have for granted.

PET Scan tomorrow

Tomorrow, Rob will be going to IMED for his PET scan. He needs to be there bright and early.

He is taking a nap now. Today, he had a full day: got up at 7:30, ate breakfast, went to church (3 hours), and ate lunch. Just like most people, he is taking a Sunday afternoon nap.

I think that some of his tiredness is rubbing off on me. I am exhausted. I am ready for a month-long vacation with nothing to do, but sit on a beach somewhere.

Rob's family will be in town over the next week and one-half. One-third of his siblings live in Florida, so it will be fantastic to see them. Hopefully, Rob can keep up with the festivities and not sleep mid-sentence (in case you are wondering, he is not that bad, yet - but he has an uncanny ability to fall asleep during an action-packed-nail-biting movie).

Anyway...We will be meeting with his oncologist on Wednesday. I will update then.
