We are staying in Tukwila tonight… brought the fixing’s for French dips. Just going to eat dinner and then go to sleep, we are soooo tired because we did the karaoke show at Rounders Friday night and last night. Gator is dragging butt today, not too nervous about the MRI & CT scans tomorrow, just worried about the results on Tuesday!...

Ooops! We weren’t supposed to stay here last night! I didn’t think about it until this morning. They allow us to stay in the motel the night before chemotherapy because he has to be there so early in the morning. His appointments today don’t even start until noon! LOL We’re so used to coming up on Sunday that we didn’t even think about it. The front desk just said to have the VA call them….shoot I hope they still cover the room, we’re pretty broke these days. Gator made it through the MRI & CT scan with flying colors. He is a little claustrophobic so they give him Lorazipan and make him loopy which make things fly by for him! Lol We actually got done an hour early and went back to the motel by 3pm. It’s 6:30 now and he has been asleep since about 4pm. We’re really nervous about the results tomorrow but we’re trying to keep positive attitudes. Gator said this is the turning point in his cancer care.

We have to decide whether to continue on with the chemo or to take a few months off. I’m so afraid their going to find more cancer in his brain! We know the cancer has been shrinking in his lungs but we just don’t know how much. I think Gator is going to ask them tomorrow. I don’t want to push so I’m not going to ask him if he plans on asking to see the scans… I wish I could take a lorazepan before going in tomorrow for the results!
