Best day

I strongly recommend taking a vacation day and pulling your kid or kids out of school to spend some serious quality time together.  Today Ava and I played hookie.  There's part of my day I have to keep a surprise because it is part of our Father's Day presents, but we had a fun lunch today, we painted pottery in Hyde Park, she was treated to frozen yogurt with rainbow sprinkles and then we ran around a bit and headed home.  She was on cloud nine. She kept giggling, telling me how much she loves me and constantly had a smile on her face.
I'm excited to tell you about the surprise. (No I am not pregnant :)

I also spoke with Dr. loggie's nurse practioner this afternoon. He is another Doctor that only specializes in peritoneal malignancies. She and I went over my specifics and talked for a bit.  I need to send her my stuff, but she sounded similar to Dr. Bartlett. An MRI at my one year anniversary and a laparoscopic surgery "looksie" to see if there's any disease progression. They do not believe in operating unless there is clearly disease and they feel like one year post diagnosis would show if something was there.  If something is seen, then the big ole surgery would be scheduled and if nothing is seen then MRI's every 6-12 months indefinitely. I need to start with sending them my stuff, then I'll probably pay them a visit in Omaha, Nebraska and then I will have my choice of which specialist to follow me.
