I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Unexpected trip!
I received a call from Dr. Sosman this morning a little after 8am. He needed to talk to Woody. He did tell me what was going on before he called Woody at work. The PET scan shows that Woody has a tumor in the femur of one of his legs (not sure which one at the moment). That makes him ineligible for the drug study that he was having the tests for...so next step...get the bone in his leg x-rayed. So the research nurse called us to set up the appointment. Woody ended up going to Vanderbilt today for the x-rays and blood work for another possible study...more on that another time. At the moment I have run over from Nathan and Kathy's with Elijah...Erin and Alex and I are taking care of the children while Mom and Dad have a night out. So quick blog for tonight...no picture...just wanted to let it be known that we are heading in another direction. The reason for the quickness for the x-rays is that it looks like he could have a fracture in that leg already...if it is bad enough he will have to have surgery on it...much like he had on his upper arm (or so we are assuming at the moment.). He isn't to do his daily walk at work or any 8 mile walks over the weekend. Well, Elijah is trying to help me type...more in the next installment!

Praying all will be revealed and he will be able to participate in the study.
