Continued. Humm you must be able to say only so much or post only so many pictures each time as I could not add anything more to the last blog entry. Still learning folks!

Anyway this weekend we also had an eagle swoop down in front of the truck as we were driving out of Longville. I was unable to get a picture because it went too quickly (or was it David that was going too quickly??) so I thought I would share this picture. It was taken a year ago this past weekend. We were on our way back from the Lost 40 and drove upon two very large eagles feasting on a road kill deer. They are awesome in flight but even more awesome on the ground up close. My son in law (Rachel's husband Melvin) and I share a passion for these majestic creatures.

Today I have a MUGA scan done. This is a test that meassures how your heart is functioning. Herceptin (and the initial chemotherapy drugs) can cause heart damage so this is one of the tests that I have periodically. So far the ole heart is doing just fine!

Thursday I see my oncologist. I am going to talk to him about reaccurrance and how do we watch for it in my case. I realize that the closer I come to the end of my infusions I am wondering more about is the cancer coming back. I know too that this is normal, many people go through this. But I do find myself thinking about it probably too much. I dont mean to sound negative because I'm really not. I think maybe just realistic. If I do have a reacurrance I know that we will fight that just like we fought this. So my message for today is ask the questions, don't be afraid to. Knowledge is power.

I am closing with another picture that I took this weekend. This is one of my favorite picture taking spots right outside of Longville. It had snowed and was a foggy day. Makes for a pretty cool picture.
