Last day at Stanford Medical!

This week has flown by and already I'm packing up for the next stop.  Kate is at the Cancer Treatment Center getting chemo treatment #2 of 3 total.  We arrived yesterday at 7:20 am for blood work at the lab, radiation treatment, followed by an appt with her oncologist, and finally, last stop was the chemo lounge.  We have nicknamed everything here!  We even theorized that the doctor was an 1-1/2 hours late in seeing us (as we sat in the tiny room waiting), because he was falling in love with his nurse and enjoying some moments with her.  You get the picture?  Quite not the case.  He was waiting for her blood labs to come back.  We just make up our own scenarios to keep the humor going.  Guess I've been watching too many doctor shows - like Grey's Anatomy.

I'm so impressed with Kate.  Not one complaint.  Well just one that we both share.  They seem to want you here at a certain time, and even tell you how important it is to be on time.  Once here you sit and wait!

Everyone here has been so thoughtful, right on down to the massage therapist coming into her chemo room and offering a free massage while she lay there.  She declined, so I put my feet on her bed and said "How about these pretties?"  No dice!  Well I tried!

Kate's husband arrives tonight, so my duties here will end.  Last time we saw the doctor he confirmed that her cancer, that was the size of a fifty cent piece, is now broken into two much smaller pieces, shaped like little bunnies.  It's working - YEA!   WE LOVE YOU STANFORD!

Thankful for my health!
