Update

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone - just wanted to update you on my liver!!  LOL  It is actually like

it's got a life of it's own, isn't it??  I'm coming up to a decade of being

involved with my mine.

Something strange happened today.  You know that I had decided to bring all my

medical care back to where I live.  I'm sure those 12 hr return trips are going

to be impossible.  Also, I had chosen not to go on with any procedures for the

cancer, because I need a quality of life now, not a quantity.  Well, I got a

message from the city hospital that they want to talk to me about an MRI.  Now,

I specifically heard the surgeon say that there was no point in having an MRI. 

I believe that was because we all know what the return of the cancer so quick

means. 

So, I called over to the BCHep Clinic and asked the clinician to please find out

what is going on.  Now, I'm sure that I told him weeks ago about my decision;

but, he seemed surprised today.  Anyway, I also asked that he put a note under

the Gastro's nose, that I would like to talk to him as well.

But - here's happy news.  I've probably said numerous times that I love Yanni

music and would give just about anything to go to a concert before my end.  His

music alone keeps me peaceful and serene.  Well, he begins a North America tour

in 2012.  So far, all the cities he will be in, are in the east.  I believe

Chicago is just about the closest.  So, dreaming all the way, I looked up how

much it would cost to fly to Chicago and back.  Wow, a lot cheaper than I would

have thought.  Then, I looked up the cost for tickets in the really really good

seats.  Again, a whole lot less than most artists charge.

Finally, I told my internet friend that lives in Chicago and suddenly this whole

idea has taken on a life.  I will stay with her and her husband of course.  Now

another internet friend wants to come up from Oklahoma.  Then one of them can

drive; but, it's a 7 hr trip.  Finally, one more, that I think lives in Maine. 

This is getting more exciting just about each hour.

What it means to me - I absolutely have to stay well until that happens. 

Honestly, I believe that if we have something to dream about, likely we can hold

off the bad crap.  We are going to see!!!!
