I will spend 7 of the next 15 days at Barnes in St Louis. Next Monday I will have a brain CT and MRI and be fitted for a mask for radiation. The next day I have a bone scan and a chest/ab/pelvic CT. These were scheduled for August but have been moved up due to troubling symptoms. I start my new line of treatment the same day. I am dreading the side effects but hold hope that we can make them bearable over time. Then I have radiation to my brain Monday through Friday of the following week.
We had a trip to Pittsburgh scheduled long before the new brain tumor appeared and it was good to explore a new city and take my mind off cancer for a bit. It is a beautiful, old River city with much to explore.
Please keep us in your prayers for safe travels, successful procedures, minimal side effects, effective treatment and the mental fortitude to keep going.
I am not in control. 
Stunning pictures!

We are currently on vacation in Italy, and went to the Vatican yesterday. I prayed for you in the Sistine Chapel – for everything you mentioned, for everything you need, and for a miracle cure.
There are so many amazing churches in Rome – it is fun to just walk down the street and check them out. They are everywhere and each is more architecturally and artistically more impressive than anything I’ve seen in the U.S. I think you would love it!
