Mom has been going through chemotherapy for the last month. For a while, I thought we'd have to cancel the trip, but mom's feeling pretty good and wants to go. (The cancer was found long after the plans and reservations were made)
So... we'll take off on Saturday the 12th, and get there sometime Monday the 14th. It's almost 900 miles, so I didn't want to make a drive-all-night marathon out of it, so we'll have the weekend to drive it.
I've checked ahead, there's a cancer center in Moab at the county hospital, and they've been called. The cancer center here will have a packet of records ready for us to take, so just in case...
I've been holding off posting anything in case things went to heck and the trip was dead. Fortunately, things are going okay. If this trip was three weeks ago, it wouldn't have happened. They put her on stuff to bring up the red cell count, so she's doing a lot better than this crap first started.

We are definately out. I turned in my letter of resignation at work for May 25th. I'm moving to Peoria.....Not to worry Jon.....Illinois. So I will be preparing for that move plus the kids are still in school for us as well. I won't even make it to Colorado this summer. I parted out my YJ in 1 week, but refuse to let go of my XK. Now I just hope the CCW bill passes in Illinois.
Anyway, if you have an extradition in town ring me up. Have a safe trip and talk to you once I get settled in. Btw, I found the WCCC shirts from last year and they shipped 5/9/12. Just hope they still fit everyone.
You will be missed my friend, hope to see you in Silverton in 2013

It's been touch and go here the last week too. There's two chemo "cocktails" that alternate. Cisplatin is what we call "the bad stuff" where the nurse suits up and uses double gloves just to handle the IV bag.The other is Gemzar, which isn't too bad. She is in getting the Gemzar today, so she should be okay by Saturday. (That's when we start heading south) I can say for certain if she was in getting Cisplatin today, the trip would be cancelled. While we're in Moab, it's "skip week" for the chemo, and that worked out really nice.
All I can say is if someone in your family gets cancer, making plans for anything becomes real iffy at best.
