Tuesday - November 13th.

The past two days have been difficult from an emotional standpoint. First, waiting on the next biopsy report is nerve wracking. It's hard keeping the negative "what if's" out of your mind. We are hopeful for a positive pathology report next Monday; BUT "what if"..... Our hospital stay is already approaching four weeks on Thursday. The days seem to drag by slowly. We all just want to go home; BUT we also know that we want to be in remission. So, we put our trust in the professionals at Moffitt, knowing that they too want us out of here as soon as possible. Adding to the emotional distress is the fact that we had to put our cat of nineteen years, Granite, to sleep on Monday. He lived a good life, but in recent months had lost half his body weight, and we decided it was just time to let him go. Those of you with pets understand how difficult it is to lose a pet. Jan did have another precautionary chest Cat-scan last night. They like to run these every two weeks. We also learned that they will try to move up the biopsy date from next Tuesday to this Friday. We need good numbers from this report!
