Biopsy...thanks St. Rose Hospital!

Well, you know you can have a great experience or a horrible experience at a hospital. Locally, our experiences have not been the best. However, Layne's biopsy was scheduled at St Rose Siena, and we both felt it was an amazing experience.

Check in was very quick, they accepted the blood work from the doctor's office, which had already been transferred--so no double stick! (When you have cancer, you become a pin cushion, and one less stick is a HUGE thing.)

Then, the procedure was quick, fairly painless (Layne felt pressure, but no real pain.) Then the nursing staff on the post-op floor was wonderful! Our nurse was Barbara, and she was an angel.

Now, we await results, and chemo is due to start again on Thursday. It will be interesting to see if the results change our chemo or our strategy. Again, with cancer, you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Layne is still feeling very good. He is loving his juiced carrots and wheat grass, and he notices that he does not crave sweets like he used to since he started juicing carrots!

Perhaps we should all juice carrots!
