I'm ready to go.
I hope to leave Houston in a few hours. My open heart surgery was on August 11, so I'm about two weeks and a day post-surgery.
To briefly (subjective reference) cover my backstory for those who haven't followed some of my stuff, I've been in treatment for a year (chemos, etc.) for cardiac angiosarcoma, a respectably large blood vessel sarcoma tumor in the right atrium of my heart. When it was finally diagnosed, the sarcoma had metastasized to my lungs. After several cycles of different chemos (see my blog) and an initial attempt to get surgery in March which failed due to the growing size of the tumor, good docs at MD Anderson and Methodist Hospital in Houston agreed to try resection of the heart tumor. By last January, all metastasis in my lungs had been apparently cleared by the chemo.
