Connie was always good at tests.....

Saturday was pretty much spent getting control of things.  Steroids and anti seizure meds were IV'd in to stabilize things as much as they could.

I got the girls around 8a from the Salty Dog, and headed out to the hospital around noon.

We both met with Dr. Gleason who reaffirmed his strategy of the Cyber Knife and Connie met with Dr. Stewart who ran the beast.  We definitely needed to work on the large mass first (which was on the cerebellum), then deal with the other spots second.  The rest of the body issues (below the neck) were secondary at this point.

Sunday was a waste of a day.  Nobody in, no tests, just a day to sit around and watch network TV in standard def on a 19" TV.  Ugh.  We did get to watch the Buckeyes together beat Michigan State.  But, the food was great (shaking my head "no").

Monday was a big test day.  3 tests she’s got to undergo today:  Biopsy (to determine that it is breast cancer which actually would be good news, and not some other form of cancer which actually would be very bad news); mammogram (she was due to have this done last Friday, but once the brain stuff came out got put on back burner.  This is more of a current baseline for them); and some sort of heart test to make sure her ticker can handle chemo.
All the tests were finished, we just had to wait on the results to get her released as the Cyber Knife had to be done as an out patient procedure.

Tuesday would be either release day or wait another day.
