It's Wednesday evening and I want to let you know how the week is going.  I had a brain scan and a heart scan on Monday.  Yesterday I saw my surgeon, Dr. Dehaan, who aspirated the area near my incisions.  He says I'm a good fluid maker.  What that means is that I will be seeing him once or twice a week until this is done.  I sure hope it's soon!!

Today was a PET scan.  I was given an injection of glucose and radioactive dye.  This travels through the body and travels to cancer cells.  The main concern was that I had an unusual amount of lymph nodes in my chest (a possible area for cancer to travel).  I went shopping after the test and when I got home, Tim said that Dr. Albain had called.  My scan was clean!!!  No evidence of any more cancer.

On Monday, we will meet with Kathy Albain and put a treatment plan in place.  Yes, it's scarey, but it's time to start!!

Dan graduates on Saturday.  It's a weekend of celebrations.  Graduation, birthdays, Mother's Day and good test results!!

Have a blessed weekend!

Love, Karen
