Maarten here again. In case you were wondering, I have not yet started radiation therapy. My neck is still a bit stiff and the doctors want to figure this out before sending me off to radiation therapy.
For this, I did another (very long) MRI yesterday. They had to try three times to get my IV line in, which made me very cross, of course! The doctors will meet again on Wednesday to discuss the MRI results and than we will know more as well.
In case you were wondering, MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is basically a huge circular magnet that makes 3D pictures of whatever body part you are interested in. Scientist also use it to study objects, for example historical artifacts, if they want to find out what is inside it without actually opening it.
For now, we are going to hit the road and have some fun! We borrowed a little old campervan from friends and we plan to drive it up to Mount Saint Helens for the weekend!
Stay cool @ the pool!
Maarten
Hi Maarten, we hope you had a great trip to Mt St Helens!! We went camping the same weekend and went North (Bay View Campground). Oh btw I wanted to tell you that Elke missed you at 'het Oranjeschool kampje'. She was an assistant teacher again and had hoped to see you there because last year had been so much fun with you there, but she knows why you could not be there! If you like to say "Hi" to her (she says hi!!) and chat Dutch let us know and we can set up a Skype session :)!! A big hug from all of us and we will send you a lot of positive energy!!! Aurelia, Wilbert, Elke, Finn and Niels
