Ferrell, Miranda, and I headed to Birmingham for Ferrell's doctor's appt and to tour Samford University with Miranda. We got up Monday morning and went for Ferrell's MRI and then on to Dr. Nabors. When we got to Dr. Nabors office we were blown away. Ferrell's brain where he had the first tumor(on right side) was just about completely healed but he now had a new tumor on the left side. We had no idea this was coming even though we knew it was inevitable at some point. I promised myself I would never let me guard down again after this. I didn't even realize I had let it down but boy had I ever. This new tumor meant going on Temodar(oral chemo) 21 days out of every 28 and taking IV chemo called Avastin every other week. We continued on to tour Samford and were very impressed with the university. Miranda however decieded it wasn't worth taking out the loans she would need to go there. It is extremely expensive. Maybe she will go to law school there. Who knows!
