Off at noon to the city. This time I meet with two of those who will be handling my case. Oncologist and radiologist. It’s my understanding that there will still be no treatments yet. It’s been seven weeks since I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I wish we could get this show on the road....

I finally have my new home pretty much put together and decorated for Christmas. My decorations are somewhat understated though.
