Week of good news, considering.

     Well, we have safely arrived in St. Louis and are settling into our condo. My family should be here in a few hours and we're getting excited for the game tonight. Megan & I left our house and Ariyah yesterday in the care of our friend's, Rachelle & Kara, and drove to Memphis where we stayed for the night. We went out for some of the best BBQ we've had in a while at Corky's. We got ribs that half the rack was a dry rub and the other half wet. Delicious.  After that we were able to relax in the hotel's hot tub (which was more of a bath tub temperature than hot tub temperature) and enjoy a chill night before heading out this morning to finish our drive.
     And onto cancer talk:  So far we have gotten back many good results from the medical people this last week. I do not have pheochromocytoma (a tumor on my adrenal gland). Good news since about 10% of people with Medullary Carcinoma have it. So no abdominal surgery. Though I wanted one just a little bit because as far as medical issues go that is one of the cooler ones.

     I had a Triple Phase CT of Liver and Lungs this week and there was no Metastasis to the liver which is great news. There are still some spots on my lungs, but it is unknown if they are cancer or just granulomas.

     My calcitonin level stayed about the same so its not increasing exponentially, also good news.

     Oh and to all you Vikings fans.... Brett Favre will be retired tomorrow.

Megan's side note: Please pray that Scott will have better dreams - he dreams about Cancer every single night and it's getting rather old.  Also, that we'll all sleep well tonight so we're rested for our early morning tomorrow.  We head to the hospital at 6am for Pre-Op funness and then the surgery is scheduled to start at 9:00.  I'll be keeping you all posted!
