Back Home!

We made it back home safely, yesterday! It was a long trip and I'm glad to be home! It took us a little over 9hrs to drive down there, but we did stop to eat. The room was really nice, oceanfront, very relaxing! We rested a while then went to grab something to eat. We were up bright and early Monday morning and got to the Mayo Clinic a little early. Got registered. And ended up waiting over an hour to be taken back. Dr. Patel was very nice, very thorough, we both liked her. I was a little disappointed that they didn't do anything, but that was my own fault. I guess I should back up a little. Since my dr at home was sending me all the way to Fl to see a specialist, I just assumed that they would be able to make me better. So anyway, she done her exam, asked me how much I knew of what was going on and what I expected out of the appointment. We talked for a while and she looked up some clinical trials, trying to find one closer to home. There wasn't much luck, none of them were recruiting new patients. She recommended a different round of chemo, that my dr can give me, YAY! So no more trips to Jacksonville! She did recommend that I have a brain MRI, since I told her that I had been having some blurry vision spells. She said that it was very possible that it was a side effect of the Avastin, but she wanted to be sure. Talk about getting on the ball, the ladies from my dr office already have it scheduled and I have it done today, that way my oncologist will have the results when I go see him next Thursday. I hope to be starting the new round of chemo that day too.
On another note, the kids start school Monday! We can go meet their teachers this evening, and see their classrooms. They will be starting, and I will be graduating! I'm graduating Aug.25!! YAY ME!
