Thanks guys for you good wishes. They called and said I needed to come back to Texas again for another biopsy, so I will be headed back over Wednesday, Thursday and come back Friday from this trip.

Mike, I checked out a lot of your Flickr photos and they are very good.

I don't go anywhere without my cameras and accessories. I didn't get a chance to take a single picture on my trip over there last week and probably won't this time either but I WILL have them just in case.

I spotted this dragonfly outside my living room window so I got the D600 and put my 70-200VR on it and took a shot.

Early in the morning I will be headed back to M.D. Anderson hospital in Houston to get a biopsy done by them. Will be back in a couple of days.

I am back from my second visit to the M.D.Anderson cancer center in Houston Tx. This place is the top place for treating cancer and is VERY BIG and is a great place to go. I arrived early for each of my appointments and was done with my blood work, EKG, aspiration of bone marrow, CT scan and biopsy and leaving BEFORE each of my appointment times even came up. These people are extremely efficient. Everyone is very polite and helpful with any problem, appointment or need you may have. I believe I am correct in saying this is the biggest hospital in the world and the #1 cancer facility. I was able to get a photo of one of the many buildings they have and it is of the children's section. You can see it in the picture below and this was taken from several floors up in the building I was getting my biopsy done in. The building extends behind the lighter colored building to the right of it. Remember that this is only one of many buildings like this that make up the hospital. This is the M.D. Anderson Center but it is called the Texas hospital. This photo was taken through a plate glass window of the building I was in.

I need and appreciate yours and everyone Else's prayers and thoughts. I just found out that I not only have Lymphoma Cancer but it is probably a rare type called T Cell Lymphoma so I will be headed back to Houston to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center the week after the 4th of July.
