The Second Week Begins













Well it's Tuesday in Moscow. The plan today is to take an additional series of tests. The concern still remains that the tumor/growth in my spine could begin to grow from stem cell injections. I think we are getting close to the decision although slowly. The good news is that to date there have been no indications of any abnormalities from any tests done so far. The bad news is that the chief of the clinic still seems to be concerned and he by all appearances has the final say. The final test will be performed Wednesday which then I hope can finally decide weather I continue with stem cell therapy or come home. I'm glad they are so thorough and of course this is the best course of action however it's frustrating that it is taking so long. Sandy came with me for the cat scan today that is what the sign is above says in Russian (I guess). She was able to snap a few pictures of the long halls I travel for various tests. Surprisingly there was no one sitting along the halls as there usually is. The only logical conclusion, they have cured everyone in Russia. I'm in the right place it appears. We went out to the market again today and bought some cheese salad fixings and a bottle of Tuborg green beer not bad stuff. It was about eighty degrees here and sunny at 7 pm a nice day to sit outside and people watch. Wednesday should be it I know I keep saying that but I think we have reached the end of the road regarding additional tests.
