\"ct-scan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we approach the one year anniversary of the end of Em’s treatment, I imagine there will be a lot of thoughts bubbling around for both of us.\u00a0 Already, Em has upped the ante in her two most recent blog posts, the earlier of which represents yet another example of her intense and direct writing style.\u00a0 I urge you to read ‘Pinning Jell-o To The Wall’ right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As part of the whole thing, it is now time for her first scan, this one is a CT, which means she rides through the doughtnut after drinking some nasty barium and getting jacked in to an IV.\u00a0 Considering how everything else has been going so far, we’re pretty confident that there is no nastiness to be discovered, but it’s nerve wracking to go into the hospital and deal with needles and machines and what not.\u00a0 So we will go together this morning and give that doughnut the old Beckerantz karate chop – HIiiiY-YAH!!<\/p>\n

I think I dreamt about last month’s Planet Cancer Couples Retreat.\u00a0 It was classic dream stuff, like the ‘real’ thing but not at all.\u00a0 I was sitting at a table and we were playing silly games with strangers, not our newly found cancer posse, but some dream version.\u00a0 I don’t remember much else, but it isn’t hard to put one and one together this morning.<\/p>\n

One last thought about all this.\u00a0 I’m on a trial list from yesterday in Camden, NJ.\u00a0 I had to tell the Judge’s assistant that I can’t start first thing today (if they’re ready) because I’m taking Em to her appointment.\u00a0 The level of understanding I got was refreshing – clearly this woman ‘get’s it.’\u00a0 That was nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
