Tonight as of 8 pm, we are officially "Valley People"....having moved from Central Oregon to Wilsonville.....we are open to visits.....or for people to come and take Linda....or....so don't wait for an invite....

Linda's cell phone is 541 390 4836.....

The last two days have been hectic...going to Central Oregon to get the RV....make medical appointments.....meet with the broker....meet with friends...etc...etc...

Today Linda got her chemo infusion...the Alimta....the Oncologist agreed that the pleuritic pain was most likely caused by the coughing and upped the morphine amount Linda has been taking for a couple of years....he also prescribed some additional pain medication. He looked at the summary of Linda's last MRI in Central Oregon and it mentions hydrocephalis...but he didn't seem to be too concerned as in the scheme of things we had more to worry about with the cancer...anyway we were able obtain 3 past MRI scan discs from various agencies and will have a Neurologist examine for a recommendation.

The Oncologist sees 2-3 more rounds of Alimta, counting today's, and then another CT scan...to assess the effectiveness of the Alimta....it has been 7 months now....we also scheduled another appointment and infusion with him in three weeks but might be set up at OHSU (Oregon Health Sciences University) here in Portland...and if so, we would cancel the appointment...we shall see.

We have our RV set up and will begin organizing things tomorrow....Linda is holding up well.....again to see Linda...it's your call...
