No Evidence of Disease (NED) for the 2nd time in a row. That's 6 months clear. Wow. MA & Debbie got to meet one of my docs, and we all figured the news was good because he was positively chatty. Light banter is contraindicated if you have to deliver bad news, you see. After discussing hurricane happening, Alaskan hunting trips, and other assorted topics, we finally got around to the radiology report where we heard NED was still in the picture. Phwew! That's a relief.

Right afterwards, we headed out for food since we hadn't had anything to eat yet that day. We chose El Tiempo to celebrate as we heard they had the best margaritas. We were not disappointed.

Celebrate with us, everyone! I can't hardly believe it, but I'm going to take it. Thanks all for the prayers, well wishes, concerns, etc. Doc says we're still on the 3 month schedule, but we'll not go Dec. in light of Christmas chaos at MDA. Instead, January. See you then. 

Leaving in 10 minutes for the airport. I'm heading off to MD Anderson for my regular 3 month check up. Since this is right ahead of the bull sale (I really should have rescheduled), there's no way Joe could go with me. So, guess what my besties Mary Ann & Debbie are doing??? They hop on a plane tomorrow (Sunday) and are going to hang out with me. They opted not to go to my 6:15am Sunday appointments (even their friendship doesn't extend to that hour on a Sunday) but they will be with me for Monday & Tuesday. Now that's friendship. They did instruct me to have a bottle of wine (or two) waiting for them when the Uber drops them at the hotel Sunday night however.

Unless MDA radiologists are way behind, I should have a report by Monday evening. They can tell from scans and tests if NED and I can start transitioning from a summer fling to something more lonng-term (see previous post). Let's hope it's love. See you Monday evening friends! I've got a plane to catch.
