Scans tomorrow

I have been keeping myself busy the last few days so that I don't have time to worry about my upcoming scans and doctor's visit. The photo is of my Best Ball Golf team. We didn't get our photos in our golf outfits because it poured both mornings that we played and when we were done we looked like drowned rats. Such a shame for this big tournament to have two days of rain (on the driest days of the year in Corvallis, supposedly). We weathered the rain quite well on day one and posted a good score, but it was so cold and wet today and we all were tired and miserable that none of us played well at all. BUT I did wind the closest to the pin contest for my handicap yesterday!

I have been reading a very interesting book,The Emperor of All Maladies: a biography of cancer by Siddhartha Mukerjee. It details the history of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, especially over the last 50 years as researchers learn more and more about the biology and biochemistry of cancer. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the progress that has been made in developing targeted therapies.

Do keep me in your thoughts and send positive energy my way over the next two days as I find out what my future will bring.
