It has been a month since our last visit to MDAnderson, and the time at home without Houston travel was lovely.  We gave it our best effort but were unable to catch up on all the neglected yard work and house maintenance...fun trying though!  We did catch up on visits with family, friends and local activities.

Today's MDAnderson visit was positive again.  Lab work good, melanoma team and doc happy with Rusty's improving condition, and immunotherapy infusion without problem.  The mediport Rusty now sports means that he does not have to have venipunctures for lab work and infusions...he is thrilled with the "no stick" program!

Finished early enough today to rest and relax at the RV park before heading home tomorrow.

A bright spot in our travel back to Corpus Christi tomorrow will be a stop in Richmond for a visit with My nursing school roommate, Cadge Morley, and her husband Bob.  They have just moved from Tennessee to Richmond, Texas where they will be closer to their daughter Karen and her family. 

We'll be back up here in two weeks for another follow up with the neuro-oncology radiation team who performed Rusty's Gamma Knife surgery last August.  After that, Rusty's visits are expected to be monthly.
