Second Opinion

First order of business- we have a blog! We will not be using carepages anymore for updates. As someone put it, carepages can be cranky and is not always easy for people to access.  You need to go to the 'follow by email' box so that you are notified when we share an update. There are also helping links on the blog. Nate may be in treatment for 6 months, so we need to pace ourselves on the help. We do not need a lot of help yet. But, freezer meals especially are always welcome!

You may share the blog with those who care about our family.

Our doctor put in a referral and Nate has an appointment at Mayo Clinic on November 3. It is a little unclear how many days we will have to stay at Mayo for testing, appointments and so forth.

We had chemo school (to learn about chemo and what to expect) yesterday and this weekend is like a cancer-cation as Nate and I are going to a lymphoma conference in Chicago to learn more about mantle cell lymphoma. We've got to have some humor about this. ;)

Thank you again for the prayers, messages and support.
