Visit to doctor

Hi everyone:

Kathleen received her routine infusion and injection today. The hope with these, if I understand correctly, is to keep her cancer from spreading. Her oncologist is scheduling an MRI soon to determine whether or not the cancer has spread or increased in severity. Kathleen and I share a degree of claustrophobia, so I'm sure she's thrilled about this.

Kathleen said that her doctor believes her ongoing (and, at times, increasing) pain may suggest that the cancer is getting worse. Let's hope not. I think he worried about this once before and was wrong, so let's hope he's starting a trend.

This photo was taken just this past weekend. As much as I hate to compliment Kathleen (the feeling's mutual), I do think she looks nice and, more importantly, healthy.

Love,
Brian
