Boston and Our Angel Flight













What a day!
Let me start by saying that it was fabulous! It was a rough start but everything went great. We woke up to both Sean and Luke being sick. Figures of all days. Anyway, we called in Vera who came running and stayed with the boys until Aunt Mary got here.. Thank God for both of them!
We met Scotty (our pilot) at Monmouth Airport at 9:30. After going over flight procedures we departed about 10:00. I have to say, after much anxiety, this was the best flight I have ever been on. Everything was great and we were treated by everyone like royalty. My appointment with Dr. Parker at Dana-Faber was quite interesting. When the door opened, in came Dr. Parker sporting his bow tie.. We spent quite sometime going over my history and path reports. After that, he gave me a full exam.. Interesting as he even looked at my nails for residual signs of chemo. When that was complete, he told us about the study. Here goes.... At the end of July, Dana Farber will be comparing two stands of study in order to see the impact either or both have on triple negative breast cancer. The first strand is diet and exercise.. The second strand is diet, exercise along with more chemo. Which ever one I am chosen to be in is totally random. After talking with Dr. Parker, either way I can't go wrong...I will be receiving more info as the study gets closer. Tomorrow, I am off to Sloan for my checkup...I am anxious to hear what they have to say about this whole thing as they are the ones that sent me there..
We departed from Boston around 4 and landed at about 5:20.. Not bad.. Sure beats driving and it sure was an adventure! One that both Dan and myself enjoyed and thought was pretty cool.
Once again, I have found myself surrounded with angels, whether they are here on the ground or up in the air. I am truly blessed!
