June 2nd Update

Quite a bit of stuff going on.

Marti and I got in three good walks yesterday and started today with a mile and a half.

We then had our first consultation with Dr. Carlsen, the Radiologist I will be seeing here in Danville. The next step is to go in Monday, have the staples removed and begin the process of mapping the radiation therapy. Start date, and the exact number of treatments are to be determined.

On Tuesday of next week Marti and I are headed to Duke University to consult with Dr. Reardon who was just recently named Clinical Director, Center for Neurological-Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institue, Boston. We have meetings with Dr. Readon on Wednesday and Thursday and will return home Thursday night.

The plan is coming together. And with the framework of a plan a couple of short term goals are required.

1. First jog approximately 5:30 am Tuesday June 7th. Coach Jeff Thornton has volunteered to come along.

2. Back to work full time - Monday June 13th.

Enough sitting, eating and watching the Cubs lose. I just hope it is warm Tuesday morning.

  1. Dr. Reardon will probably only meet with you on Wednesday and then send you home, since attending physician Dr. Marti will be on hand. Also gamma radiation made Dr. Bruce Banner bigger and stronger. It will do the same for you for the race! I will take on his green color during and after the race, surely.

    I know, I know..."don't call you Shirley".

    My computer and cell phone keep reminding me to register for the race. Heading home to do so. Thanks for the updates.
