Hi there...we're home from Madison after a long day of "meet & greet". We met two of the gals on the research team, met the folks at the research facility that will monitor the CT scans, and met another doctor in the group that we hadn't met before. Had labs done early this morning, then the clinical trial paperwork - lots to read over and contemplate before signing. Grabbed a quick bite to eat (before the 11:00 a.m./no food for 4 hours before the CT scan), then headed to the research building. We had a couple of hours before the scan, so we found a shady spot and took a little nap. Beautiful breezy day in Madison, though it looked like clouds were rolling in as we left town. The scan was quick - 10 minutes. I was a bit tummy-tossed when we got home (the pre-test drink didn't set as well as it had before), so I went right to the chair to get things calmed down. Don headed off to do a little work and now we're in for the night.

We'll return Friday morning to Madison for more blood work (it's a marvelous thing that God has done to make sure our bodies keep making that stuff because there are those that stand ready to keep taking it!) and the first chemo. It should be a short morning!

Just wanted to jot you a quick note this evening...enjoy you're evening!
Love,
Deb
