Home again.
Hi Everyone: We got home about 1p.m. I got Scott all settled down and resting about 2. We have another appointment set up for Feb 4th @ 2pm. The appointment on the 4th is a "practice" run of the radiation treatment Scott will receive M-F for 6 weeks, which will begin "for sure" on the 7th.
The radiation consent form Scott had to sign was quite scary, they expect him to be a pretty sick guy because they have to do a larger area then usual, I guess his tumor is in a rather rare location.
So we have a great team of doctors to care for us. Dr. Chung Lee, Dr. Laura Wilson (resident), and Intern Marc Osburne. Dr. Lee said we will be like a family for these six weeks of treatment, so I thought you would all like to know our new family members names.
Tomorrow is another early am. visit. Up there about 7 a.m.; the drive was easy this a.m. we were about 45 min. early, but they were glad to see us since they were trying to squeeze us in between the set-up appointments.
Scott had another sleepless night but Dr. Lee prescribed a sleeping pill to try. Scott needs his rest and a lot of healthy food to eat, and calories, calories, calories the doc's said. Don't you wish someone would tell you that???
More as we know it.

Hi Scott and Roxie,
I tried to post a comment earlier today - don't know what I did wrong, so I'll try again. It sounds like you have a wonderful team of doctors. Just wanted you to know that our thoughts are with you and I pray for you every day.

Boy, talk about troopers! I love your disposition and your sense of humor. It gives me a new outlook. I am thinking about you all a lot. I feel blessed to be Claire's colleague. We'll try to take care of her the best we can here. Hang in there!

It really upsets me that you both have to go through this. What helped a lot when I did the radiation was the fact that I had the whole family and friends pulling for me 24 hours a day for however long it took.
This is going to hard for both of you, but you will make it. You are in the process now so just show up for your appts. and do what they tell you do. Your doctors, nurses, radiation people, etc. want the best for you. They are going to do all they can to make you healthy again. Love you, Toots

Scott and Roxane,
We don't know you well, but are finding out a lot from the postings. You both have great personalities and are very supportive of each other. We know you from our contact with Ben and Jen. We think Ben is a great person and now I know where he got his personality. Gene and I liked both of you from our first meeting.
We check everyday to see how Scott is doing. I find him on my mind often. Hope all goes well with radiation. Keep up the possitive attitude and we will keep you in our prayers.
