And more trips to Stanford

The surgeon's office called and asked Mary to come in tomorrow for a quick visit. This was done before the results of the blood test could have possibly been completed because the call came while we were at the blood lab. I assume the doctor wants to see her because he doesn't like the symptoms she is reporting: shaking and nausea. So, Friday afternoon we are back at the clinic for trip #1.

On Monday, we are meeting the oncology doctor for the first time so that is trip #2.

On the 1st (Wed) is trip #3 and Mary is set for about a 4 hour session while they do the preparation for the radiation treatment. This includes making a mold of her back so she can rest comfortably and stay still during the radiation treatments. I don't know how they make the mold but its gotta be fun to watch! Will they lay her down in a large tub of plaster of paris? Maybe a large pan of hot wax? I have no idea. They are also going to take some other images simply to make sure they know what they are dealing with given Mary's post-surgery and her petite size.

My employer is shut down next week--Again, as Forrest Gump would say--so its no problem with transportation next week.

All in all, Mary continues to get stronger even with the symptomology she is reporting. We still don't know if she starts radiation on the 6th or the 13th.

Marge, Terry, Ingrid and Mary have all offered driving days for the radiation treatment. Thank you! I am building a google document (calendar) we can share to make sure we have all the trips covered. I wish we knew the schedule at the hospital so we could confirm all the help.
