Mayo Clinic Here We Come

Two Pirates, originally uploaded by DPC Tutt.

I mentioned previously here that we were looking into travelling to the Mayo clinic in Phoenix to get a second opinion about my treatment options. Well, things have finally fallen into place and we have an appointment Thursday morning in Scottsdale. I think I finally got all my paperwork, films, scans, slides and other assorted pertinent medical data out of the vault at the Foothills hospital and sent off to the clinic in Phoenix. I haven't talked with the doctors there yet but they seem to be much more efficient at moving patients and their data around than we are here in Canada. Penny and I fly out Wednesday afternoon and return late Friday just in time to make it to Dave and Katy's wedding in Nanaimo on Saturday. After that we will either be bound for Calgary for chemo next week or back to Phoenix for more testing and treatment. It will be a busy time but we're looking forward to possibly getting more answers, having fun at the wedding and, well we're not looking forward to chemo but it has to be done...

I will provide an update on our travels since Green Lake as time allows. We have a 3 hour layover in Seattle tomorrow so that should be the perfect time!
