Linda here checking in with good news. I got a call from OHSU today telling me I have been accepted by the lung oncologist as his patient. I will have to go back to Bend for my chemo next week, but three weeks after that I will start here, so I am very pleased. I will miss my doctor in Bend, but I will feel much better being close to my medical facilities.
Six hours later:
I got interrupted by a call while I was here at Janines doing laundry and writing the blog. Dave called for me to come home as he was in trouble physically. I rushed home to take him to the emergency room where they ran tests and diagnosed him with colitis. They checked him in so they can have him drink all the liquids for a colonopscopy (sp) in the morning. Meanwhile they are keeping him on anti-nausea and pain meds. He hasn't been overnight in a hospital in our almost thirty years of marriage. I want my care-giver well again.
I or Dave will update you tomorrow. Luckily I am feeling well right now, but am still spending the night with Janine so as not to be alone.
Love and gratitude...,.,.,,Linda

Oh, Linda. Such good news and then this. Please give Dave our love and concern. I've had colitis. NO FUN. All can be taken care of, however, so let's just rejoice in the news that you'll have your own oncologist nearby.

Linda,
Our prays are with Dave and you. Glad to hear you have a Portland doctor now. We hope Dave is released soon. Sneak him in a beer. (Just kidding!)
