PET scan clear...

...so that is a relief. Thanks for all the caring people who worried along with me. So...brain and body all clear per the two different scans. Will be seeing the docs on Friday to see what they have to say and what sort of follow-up they want to do now...although I do not think it will change much from what we have been doing.

Hope all of you had a great day. With love - c

Such a good time in Atlanta...

...Brent and I rested and played...going to the zoo (LOVE the gorillas...esp the family set with the 4 month old baby and the twin 4 year olds running around acting the way Fred and Rose used to do!!!) and the botanical gardens...a little shopping and visiting with the Roo. Got to take her to lunch and dinner a few times and visit some on Sat. She is doing so well and adjusting to everything and everybody like a trooper!!

Back yesterday, got settled in and today was off to the scans!!! The MRI people and the PET people played well together again. Got one IV for the duration. The two ladies who have done both of these scans for me in the past are really super. They are kind, considerate and really make an unpleasant experience the best it can be. So a big shout out to two great radiology techs at Erlanger East and Chattanooga Imaging.

Brent has already reviewed and the folks with my neurosurgeon have already called about the brain MRI. It is as it was before. No change. The right frontal lobe zapped place is calcified as expected and they continue to refer to the place in the posterior occipital lobe as a calcification secondary to radiation of a brain met...although as far as we know...that never happened. We hashed that out last time...but, whatever, it is unchanged from the last MRI. Will be seeing the neuro surgeon and the neuro radiologist Friday. No results yet on the body PET.

Back to work tomorrow. Will keep you posted with the PET results. Love to all - c

Poor photog, great runner!!


All my pics of Brent's finish are worse than these!!! He was so happy he wasn't last!!! Rosie went to him and ran him in for his finish!!! It was fun.

There she goes.....




Rosie did GREAT coming in somewhere in the 20's for women finishers and definitely in the top 100 because...SHE GOT A PIE!!!!!!!!!!

Warming up for the Pie Race



Brent and Rosie ran 6.2 miles this morning in the Signal Mountain Pie Race. The first 100 runners win an apple pie! There were 199 runners. It was cold!
