Hi Amy, I am so glad your mom is feeling better. That kind of heat would keep me inside too! This is the time of year when I'm happy I no longer live in the South. A hot day here is in the 80s and it always gets cool at night.

I'm disturbed to read she doesn't want to see the doc at Hopkins now, though I can see why she would feel that way given everything that happened since October. I hope she finds a doctor somewhere she can feel comfortable with in terms of getting advice about how to continue treatment.

And I am REALLY hoping the CT scan shows that the area that the chemo was supposed to get rid of is gone gone GONE--or at least well on it's way to being gone so there's some hope if she does more chemo. But whatever the results are, Minnie is in my prayers and I know in the prayers and thoughts of so many people here. Please do let us know what she decides to do when she gets the results.

Nelie
