Found: One Oncologist!

We finally have a date to confirm that oncologists actually do exist! Shell's appointment is on Sept. 13 - three weeks from today. She has had a fairly good day albeit with ongoing waves of nausea that required (like yesterday) intervenous meds every six hours. That may settle if the Stent procedure (10:30 am tomorrow) is successful. As it takes her a long time to recover from anesthetic, she will be bringing in her "visitors" welcome mat on Friday but will put it back out at the door come Saturday.

With hopes that we will be able to share good news with you by tomorrow afternoon! Today Shelley commented to one of her visitors, "it takes a lot of community to hold courage!" For you, our community, we hold deep gratitude. When our courage wanes, we feel your prayers and energy coming our way and are continuously strengthened and hope-filled.
