The Scan That Was....Not Meant To Be.

We had reported last week that Joe was to have a CT scan tomorrow, August 25, to see the status of the tumor.  At this weeks Oncology appointment at Duke, Joe spoke with Leigh Howard about what he thought was his understanding of when she wanted it to occur and when the person at the check-out had scheduled it.  Apparently there was some miscommunication between all parties and Leigh does not want the scan done until after this cycle of chemo.  Therefore, the scan will not take place tomorrow but rather will be sometime late in the week of Labor Day or the following week, which will be his "week off" from chemo.  Although anxious to find out if the tumor has shrunken, grown, spread or remained the same, we'll just have to be patient for a little bit longer.  However, patience is a virtue of which I have very little.  But as the saying goes, "no news is good news" so we are going to do our best to adopt that attitude, at least until after Labor Day.

Thank you to everyone who has expressed congratulations to Joe and me.  We are most appreciative.  As always, continued thanks for your good wishes, prayers and postive thoughts.
