Where we are heading

Good Morning everyone,
Well what a week! I must admit Edgar and I weren't in the best of shape after hearing the words cancer and won't go away. But we are back on track and ready to kick serious butt. We were all eady to leave San Fran on Wednesday afternoon when we got a call to tell us they had an appointment for us with the Radio-Oncologist for Thursday at 12pm. Wow! So much for maybe next week. When we arrived the Tumor Board was just going into their meeting and we had to do all of Natalia's vitals and Dr...Scott...examed Natalia. When the Tumor Board let out within the hour Dr Haas-Kogen...Daphne...said it was the decision of the board to go ahead with treatment rather then wait until early June and that was only if she got a spot on the medical trail. So we did some of the preliminary work for radiation and we will come back next Wednesday to finish the prilim stuff then begin treatment on the 19th. We then went back to Dr Banerjee loaded up with Orange Chicken from Panda Express, Natalia's favorite...Note while waiting for her CT scan Natalia & Sophia kept asking the doctors who would be bringing her lunch as she was very hungury Scott was so taken with their pitiful cries of hunger he found them m&ms and jelly bellies. Anyway back at Dr Banerjee's we got all the blood work done to start chemo and for homone checks becuase the radiation might affect those.

While this type of cancer will not go away it can be treated and contained and that's what we are going to do. They can treat this for many years to come and in the cancer game were new things are discovered all the time that is great news.

Much love to you all,
Roni
