Postponed again - oh well...
Looks like the Mooperino and I were a little bit optimistic in our guess (our dear hope) that we would be headed home on Monday. It now looks like Moopy's rads will be done on Wednesday. That's because the hyperthermia machine crapped out for three sessions last week, and Dr. Taylor is bound and determined that Moopy is…

Hi Everyone!
Hi, The chemo port was inserted today, and I am not a "happy camper". My mother told me that when I woke up, I was crying hard, my surgeon was upset over it. I don't remember that, as I was just plain TIRED!! I am feeling pain in the shoulder area, and it is a nuisance. The area is all black and blue. Life goes on and I…
