Finishing up at Vanderbilt

We are finishing up at Vanderbilt now.
Here's the run down of the day:
8a CT scan
10a Blood work
11:30 EKG
lunch
wait wait wait wait
2:00 approved for the clinical trial get set up for treatment
wait wait wait
4:00 start treatment

It has been a lOOOOOOng day and we still have travel back home.

The good news is there wasn't any further growth that showed up on the CT scan from the last scan 6ish weeks ago. Blood work was normal. Heart is fine (duh). Lunch was just okay (haha). The waiting can make a person crazy.
Dr. Berlin actually showed us the CT scan pictures which we have never seen. Very interesting. Ridiculous that little shadows can reek this much hectic on a person's life.
I guess that is it for today.
Craig will be here once a week for three weeks straight and then off a week.
Prayers for minimal side effects. The one that can be expected is fatigue but Dr. Berlin said that if he was sleeping all day tomorrow and not able to function then they would need to adjust the dosage. It will be a new world if Craig can do a treatment one day and be a functioning human the next day. We shall see.
