Merry, thanks for the concern. Luckily I am, by nature, a "high energy" kinda person and am feeling okay so far. It is a bit of a challenge juggling work and all of these appointments but my work partners have been GREAT and have even arranged it where I can work from home when needed.

Liz went to the Radiologist for initial consultation yesterday and went back today for a "planning" CT on her brain to help guide the targeted radiation treatment for her brain lesions. As soon as the biopsy results are known she will start radiation treatment. The Radiologist and Oncologist work in the same building and they seem to coordinate well together so far.

We will be pretty much stagnant until the biopsy next week, so we will probably be pretty quite until then. In the mean time, hope everyone is doing well.

Good morning- Things seem to be moving along for you, even with the one-week waits. I think that it's a good thing that with every new thing that comes up that you have a chance to mull it over and a chance to change something if need be. No matter what kind of radiation Liz will be given it will make her pretty tired so she can rest up. Do you know what kind? Has it all been explained to you? Is it SBRT?
