Thanks Friends!
Finally got home at 8:30 tonight. What a long day of waiting around.

Probably won't hear anything for a day or to I expect...unless it's tragic...they'll rush to tell me that, I think.

Wednesday is another long day. Pre-op tests for Gamma, and an MRI of my whole spine to see if those nasty little BC cells have migrated south.

Trusting God to take care of me one way or another. Keep those prayers and the positive energy flow coming my way. Maybe if God's "on the fence" about which way things should go...our good-hearted pestering might help.

Thanks again, everybody!
Your posts made a long, worrisome day end on a happy note.
