Hey My Friend Courtney, although you are always in my prayers please let us know when the scans are so we can send you extra amounts of positive vibes that day. Thinking about you all the time and glad you posted. Love the avatar.>>Believe51

PS: Ed has a brain MRI on the 20th that we are praying remains clean. I do not know how many others have this done but our MRI is not the normal MRI we are used to. This particular one does the math in great detail to see the actual amount of any changes be it good or bad since Ed has had 'salted' brain mets. It is also extremely expensive. Sad but I have learned to read some of this math. Go figure!
