I'm so glad to be feeling better. That last treatment wasn't fun so I won't dwell on it, I'll just move on.
A PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography) has been scheduled for me next week Thursday, Feb. 26 in London, ON. This is a full body scan to see if there is any cancer anywhere else in my body.
February 26 is also a very special day in our house. It's our daughter Rebecca's 19th birthday. Time moves much too quickly sometimes.
March 3rd I will have a CT Scan of the chest and abdomen. Then the next day will be the chemoembolization. http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?PG=chemoembol
The CT Scan and the procedure for chemoembolization will be in the same hospital. The procedure is minor but they still want me admitted to the hospital the day before. So after my CT Scan on March 3 I'll check with admitting to see if a bed is available. If not they said to just go home and wait for a phone call to see when a bed will become available. The procedure will be done the morning of March 4 and I'll stay for at least 1 more night in the hospital. If no complications I'll be able to go home on March 5. The surgeon had said the liver surgery would be scheduled for about a month after the above procedure.
I think that's all the details for the next few weeks. When I know more or have any results I'll post those.
I know today is very cold -7 (feels like: -17) and the windows seem to be letting in a lot of that cold air, but I also know that spring is not too far off. I'm so glad God gave us a break in the weather the last few weeks. We've had some gorgeous days. It was great to see the sun shining and actually hear some birds. I think I have spring fever. This morning it was so windy and today is recycling day in our sub that some of the blue and red boxes were sliding down the road. I decided to bundle up and have some fun retrieving them. At least there's not too much snow out there, for us anyway. Sorry you guys who have lots of snow still. It too shall pass!
Thanks for tuning in and for your continued prayers and encouragement.

Hi Judi,
While you're in the London Hospital I thought I would come visit you. That is if you want company. Sometimes it's more important to rest and I certainly would understand. Think about it and let me know.
Love,
Jane
PS. Do you remember when your dad used to sing "Feelings" but he would sing "Felix" instead!
