Tuesday's Appointment - Overall Good

Tuesday was an odd day, I seriously looked to see if it was a full moon. Travis had a good appointment with Dr. Viskochil. The results of Travis' blood work from earlier were not available when the appointment finished. We'll take this as a good sign since Dr. Viskochil calls when Travis' labs have been significantly out of whack in the past. Still no word from NCI regarding the volumetric analysis.

I had a feeling that the order for blood work wasn't at the lab even before we left home. Fortunately the techs at the lab recognized Travis and that we were there for T's regular labs. The tech was great in helping get orders for Travis so the blood draw could be done before T's appointment. The usual labs involve T fasting for 12-14 hours, so to wait until after the appointment would make for a long appointment. While waiting on orders, we bought donuts at the cafeteria so T could have his donut after the "poke" and before his appointment.
Lots of yummy sprinkles.
For now, we continue to wait on results. Travis' volumetric analysis is low priority, so clinical reads at NCI, potential and current clinical drug trial patients all have higher priority. We are thankful that these analyses continue to be performed on Travis' plexiform. Thank you for all the prayers.
