Linda is having a brain MRI Thursday as a precaution against the headaches she has been having for a month or so...the headaches have not been severe but consistent and the Oncologist decided to check things out.....Linda is also having a contrast CTSCAN a week from tomorrow of her chest and abdominal areas....by a week from Thursday we should have a very clear indication on how things are going......Tonight we attended the DEFEAT Cancer dinner and meeting.....it was very insightful with the emphasis being on clinical trials...Linda's Oncologist already has told her there are no trials available for lung cancer at this time...but it was important for us to understand what they are all about...and we now have that understanding.
DEFEAT Cancer is a year-round survivorship empowerment program for cancer survivors and their caregivers focusing on nutrition, physical activity, education and inspiration. Under the direction of oncologist Archie Bleyer, DEFEAT Cancer is sponsored by St. Charles Medical Center and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

There are some things we are interested in including a caregivers support focus group...sharing information we gained from our visits with the cancer seminars at the Moffit Institute in Florida, etc..
