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.

Down By A Hair!
The report by the doctors today was that one the two tumors was perhaps down by hair. We'll take that! They didn't give Woody contrast for his CT scans due to his creatinine level being slightly above what they like it to be. So they couldn't see the tumors quite as well as they would have liked. But they were pleased with things in general. We won't go back for another four months. The next time we will have a new Fellow...another female Fellow. Things went pretty much like clockwork today. We were through and on the road by 2:30. Our only snafu was with our voucher for the hotel. The hotel didn't give us a receipt due to the fact that I booked the reservation on line. So when I tried to turn in what I had printed from the computer, NIH needed proof that we had spent the night there. I had to call the hotel and convince them to fax something to NIH that said that we had been there. Well, it took a lot of convincing (three phone calls total)...but finally they said that they would. Well, the fax never arrived. So we were reimbursed for car travel expense but still not for the hotel. We stopped at the hotel on the way home and have the paper to fax when we get home! We are in Fort Chiswell, VA...all settled in for the night. We'll get up and have breakfast here and then get on the road. We have driven 300 and have 350 miles left to go tomorrow. So the good Lord willin' I'll be blogging from home tomorrow night...and be back to posting photos.
