The Drive

Well, we made it.  It was a long drive (just over 10 hours) but Thomas was a total champ.  He made it almost 9 hours before he started to get antsy.   I don't blame him...we were all getting antsy.  He settled in right away to Grandma and Grandpa's house and we all slept like logs last night....

Today was the appointment with the oncologist at OHSU, the big research and teaching hospital here.  It is a state of the art facility with campuses all over town.  The building I visited today was right on the water with gorgeous views of the city.  We had a great appointment with Dr Chui and were very impressed with everything he had to say.  He specializes in breast cancer in young women.  The average age of his patients is 40 (while the average age of breast cancer in general is 67).  I'll go into more of the details tomorrow, after I meet the other oncologist with Providence.  I have a lot to chew on tonight and want to compare it with what the oncologist with Providence says tomorrow. Sorry for the tease...more to come tomorrow :)
