The Big Show

So its that time. We've been planning for this from the beginning of Shaun's treatment. Once chemo is over, a surgeon would look laprascopically for anything in his abdomen. If he finds anything, he's going to go right in and cut it out then proceed with the "shake and bake" procedure I've mentioned previously. Its where they inject the abdomen with warm chemo drugs and shake Shaun around for 60-90 minutes so it coats his insides really well. Then they drain it and he's off to recovery. So like I said, it's that time. Originally, this procedure was scheduled for this Tuesday, but its been rescheduled for MONDAY, MAY 24th. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing (more time to worry about it and the results, but also more time to enjoy good food and nice weather). I guess I favor the latter. Please keep Shaun in your thoughts and prayers for this procedure. We are hoping he is all clear, but this procedure could be the cure we are looking for. Either way, we are hopeful and keeping a positive outlook on things.

In other news, Shaun had one of his best golf games in recent memory yesterday with his dad (4 over par; 76). Hmm, could professional golf be in his future?

I'm pretty sure the blog fans would like to read less about cancer updates and more about rounds of golf. (Shaun)

Shaun's putting last week was unbelievable. He was making everything. To make it more impressive, it was so cold we had to put on winter gloves between shots. (Dad)
