A Colorful Day

Still stable! On October 10 we made our quarterly day trip to Boston to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. There I was able to have labs and PICC line, CT scans of my chest, abdomen and pelvis, brain MRI, and an appointment with “my” thoracic oncologist all in one day, receiving the results from each that day for the oncologist to review with me. Each test had already been read by an expert. It’s amazing to me, coming from a rural town where things move slowly in medical care, that I could walk in at 10:00 AM and be on the road by 5:00 PM with all this being done and reported out. We always feel blessed and grateful to have this care, and that I continue to be an outlier in cancer statistics.

It was such a colorful day from start to finish. The drive down was filled with sunshine and beautiful fall foliage, and the day ended with a light show as the Northern Lights kept us alert and guided us home.
