Scan Results


----- Original Message -----

Talked to Karen's oncologist yesterday. All her scans came back normal (yeah!).

Her heart scan showed an ejection fraction of 61% which is very good. Looks like all her exercise has paid off. The bone scan and the PET/CT showed signs of old injuries but nothing to be concerned about.

Very good news.

We went out wig shopping over the weekend. After trying a variety of styles and colors, Karen settled on something short and dirty blond with blond highlights in front. Even for that description, it's not radically different, but not close to what she has right now either. Now we'll see if she wears it, or just dons her Buccaneers hat for the duration. Or the Jayne hat that she is crocheting out of the most obnoxious fuzzy yarn in yellows, pinks, oranges and reds. It's based on a hat from the TV show Firefly, (kind of a ski cap with ear-flaps like a Yukon prospector might wear, if he were, say, Phyllis Diller).

By the way, in support of my adventure analogy, Bay Front Medical Center, where Karen had the first two of her surgeries, doesn't put account numbers on their bill, they have an "encounter number" (I kid you not). Way too funny.

That's what we know right now. That's probably the news until chemo starts.
