Elaine met with her new Oncologist on Friday, accompanied by Mom & Dad. Mom said the doctor was nice and spent quite a bit of time talking with Elaine, asking her alot of questions and discussing the pros and cons of chemotherapy. The doctor took this time with Elaine to assess her overall condition and this information will help him to determine a treatment plan. The doctor also requested lab work, all of her records and a new CT and PET scan to determine the current status of the cancer. The tests have been scheduled for Wednesday, August 27th. Once all of these results are available, a follow up visit with the Oncologist will be scheduled. The Oncologist has also recommended a Neurologist consultation and a meeting with a family doctor is scheduled for next week. On top of all of this, Elaine is battling a cold. We wish her well as she enters a very busy week!!!
Aside from the trip to the Doctor, Elaine's first full day at Homewood was full of activity. When Mom and Dad arrived in the morning, Elaine was playing Bingo and in the afternoon she spent time listening to live music in the activity center. It seems that Homewood has a more active environment and the staff will make sure that Elaine does not stay idle for long.
Steve, Terry, Tim and Noelle drove from North Carolina to Maryland last night to visit with Elaine over the weekend, I know she is looking forward to seeing them.
Hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Hi Elaine,
It was great seeing you last night! I'm sorry we missed Steve, but we're glad we could join you for the "Beatles" concert. (I actually thought George Fu looked a little bit like an Asian George Harrison).
I'm glad you liked the ice cream. For anyone else who visits this week: there are two more small containers of peach ice cream in the freezer in the Arts and Crafts room. (They're marked).
As we said last night, we'll be on vacation starting on Friday (I'm packing stamps, so if I can find a post office, we'll send you a postcard!). We'll be thinking about you, and we'll see you when we get back.
Love,
Mike and Sandy
Hi Elaine,
Just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You're definitely missed at work! Hope to see or talk to you soon.

Hi,
We are coming to visit you tonight. If you feel like having ice cream for dessert, we will go get it for you in the arts & crafts room. After eating homemade, you probably won't want store bought anymore.
All of your friends send their love and prayers to you. Remember, prayers do work.
Terri
