Great News! UBO = NBD!

Brain cancer is...

 ...living free for another two months!

The appointment with Dr. Park went so well today!  He agreed that the tumor is inactive--Hurrah! 

Regarding the UBO:  Dr Park is not worried.  NBD (No Big Deal). He said that the UBO seems to come and go, to which we responded that one particularly vigilant radiologist seems to see it most clearly.  Gotta love Dr. Park.  He is in contact with the radiologist who spots the UBO.  But--best news ever--Dr. Park scheduled Darrell's MRI in 8 weeks, in September.  That was Darrell's best case scenario. 

Above you see us celebrating with...breakfast burritos "for old time's safe."  (How cool is it that "old times" were a year ago?  How cool is it that Darrell says, "I just can't take a bad picture"?)

Gotta Stay Up and Watch Carson

When Darrell reflects on the importance of "two months between scans," he compares it to his childhood.  In his childhood, he begged his parents to stay up "just a little longer."  "Gotta stay up and watch Carson."  Now, when he and I are watching Law and Order to wind down at day's end, he asks for, "just one more commercial."  That's the importance of "just eight more weeks" between scans.  Darrell says that we all want just a little more than what appears certain.  Darrell, I will watch as many episodes and as many commercials as we are given. 

Today we celebrate.
