We will be taking off for Houston as soon as Ben gets here from Kansas City. We are very grateful to him for going with us. It says a lot of him when he will miss days of work, time away from his wife and needing to get ready for a trip to Europe at the end of the week... Love You Son!
By the time this post is available for you to read on Monday, we'll most likely be at MD Anderson getting started on Joe's day of tests. Always.. blood-work, X-Rays, a "chalky drink"and a CAT Scan. It's a full day. Tuesday we meet with our Oncologist for the test results. The approaching appointment makes us anxious. We want to hear words like shrunk/shrinking, or "no sign of."
Last evening was a sweet and memorable evening. We attended a benefit for a man who was diagnosed with cancer and is facing chemo and trips to MD Anderson. He and his wife renewed their wedding vows, with their three children at their side, and family and friends all around them. It was beautiful! It was good to feel like Joe and I could be of some help to them by donating to his cause and offering any help we could give, even just talking to the family about what they are going through and sharing our experience. They are definitely in our Prayers.
Vicki
