Kris, Dave and the Lumps: The weeks before surgery #1

I've been a bit remiss, here is me catching up:

Monday 25-Aug-2008:
Kris met with Dr. Jones who was happy to note that the wound is finally healing! We have hopes that by the time it heals... well, we'll have had the port out and a new wound to heal in its place! Everything looks good from the surgeons point of view. He mentioned that they are discussing Kris' case at the cancer board meetings with an eye towards determining if they can do radiation treatment. They are still awaiting data from Austin.

Tuesday 26-Aug-2008:
Muga scan. This is the scan that can give ideas as to how strong the heart is... specifically, they are trying to make sure that the chemotherapy did not have adverse effect on the heart which would cause a delay or change in treatment... just being cautious and gathering more data for the final determination on how we will proceed with the surgery.
