Well, I got the call about the next diagmostoic PET Scan and it is scheduled for this Thursday, July 31st at 1:30pm. The Radiologist went over the list of do's and don'ts the night before and of course the biggest don't is NO CAFFEINE 24 hours before the test, but I can drink all the unflavored Water that I want, yum yum....LOL. I see the Chemo Oncologist on Aug 5th at 4:15 to see if he wants to continue with the Chemo or change course again and go a different direction.
The course change is what I'm hoping for, since I have grown tired of the Chemo, I know it's only been like a month of treatments, for once a week; but I'm tired of getting poked with the needle and having to sit for 2.5 hours while the Chemo Drugs drip through my port. :(
I will go through separation anxiety again, when I have to stop and I will enjoy hearing the words that I don't have to come back again for more treatments. I also see the Radiology Oncologist in August and I'm waiting to see what they have to say about the recent treatments and how I'm doing.
I am also starting to get excited about going to see Carmen's Family and meeting some of her Dad's Sisters and getting to know them a little better. Carmen's Brother Sam and his Fiance' will be there also and it will be great to see them again, after 2 years. I know Carmen is really getting pumped up to drive up and meet some friends in Milwaukee, then driving onto NW Wisconsin. I will enjoy the drive out from Milwaukee to the Humbird/Fairchild, Wi Area. I think initially that we will meet up with Carmen's parents in Farichild and drive from there to the Camp Ground, that her Cousin runs. The driving schedule is leave in the afternoon on August 20th, drive to Milwaukee, spend the night and leave from there on August 21st with Noah in tow and go to the Olson Family Reunion 2008 Edition. The official Reunion is on Saturday August 23rd. We will return to Toledo on August 24th and I will resume my regular work schedule on Monday August 25th.

I guess that means you won't enjoy the drive thru Chicago hehehehe! Hopefully we can go the I-90 route on the way home. This is just the break we need.
Let's just say that I'm not really thrilled with driving through Chicago, but I'll tolerate it and may be we can get some good pictures of the Skyline at night.
