MRI Day

Our day started early with labs. They left her port accessed so we could use it to inject the contrast that is need during her MRI. Kelly often feels nauseous just being in the clinic.  I think there is too much association with what has happened too often there.  So she started out early this morning not feeling too good.  Then we walked across the street for her MRI.  She was still not feeling so well, so when it was time to add the contrast through her port, she knew she was going to be sick.  I think she was almost relieved to get it all out of her system so she could feel better to go back inside the MRI machine.  She was worried she would be sick while she was inside.  The rest of the MRI went smoothly. 

We went to Dr. Muhonen's office next and received great news!  He said that her MRI is clear and there is no sign of recurrence.  Another huge sigh of relief.  It was nice to have time while we were in the neurosurgery clinic to visit with Erin and show her pictures from our trip last week.  Kelly was happy to talk to her about Breaking Dawn, the book she was so anxious to read while we were away.  Erin had read it too and Kelly was glad to have someone to talk to about it.  I still have a couple chapters left.

So we can breathe easy for awhile again.  The chemo continues since it is doing what it is meant to do, keeping her tumor from recurring.  At least we can go to the infusion center tomorrow knowing it is for a very good reason and that it is working.  Thanks for all of your prayers for her scans.  They are really helping!
