We're Here

We made it!

Got to Illinois beach resort late last night due to having a plane delay related to the right engine not starting properly. We had to unload and reload in another 747 which delayed us over 2 hours. What is in important though, is we arrived safely but very tired about 12: 30 am.


Brian was supposed to be at the CTCA medical center by 8:00, but since we missed supper we stayed and had a good breakfast before we headed out on our new journey. We were checked in and saw our first doctor. He was quite a character and very to the point. He told us that Brian has an aggressive type of tumor. None of the other physicians we saw told us that. He also wants Brian to have another CT scan, due to the last one is over a month old. Also will maybe get another esophageal ultra sound. He sees a nutritionist and naturalist on Thursday. Friday he sees another doctor for a second opinion. He couldn't get in to see the surgeon until next Monday or Wednesday.


Everyone we have talked to has been so friendly and helpful. Other clients have similar stories about confusing diagnosis or not getting the positive personal attention desired. Many other clients state that their experience at CTCA has be wonderful. This facility at Mid Western CTCA is the original one built and the hub for all the others.

Brian and I took a walk on the beach of Lake Michigan and through the woods. The surf was up! It is beautiful here and strange to see so much water.

We will keep in touch,
Mary
