8/2 - Lucky Leo

Those who know Kristine (or any Leo for that matter), are abundantly aware that August is more than just a month on which her birthday falls. It's a serious of days that collectively represent her "birth period." And there is no more important time throughout the year (for her or anyone else around her) than this one. So it should come as no surprise that in these early days of August, Kristine has been blessed with a run of great news and fortune.

Dr. Staddon's office contacted Kristine today regarding the results of her PET scan. What did the scans show? Nothing... the scans showed no trace of active tumor anywhere. The logical explanation, according to Staddon's RN assistant, is that the tumor is dead. This isn't to say that Kristine is completely out of the woods, but it certainly validates the success of her treatment and future prognosis.

Kristine also heard back from MD Anderson. I'm not sure if it was the persuasion of Dr. Staddon, the persistence of Kristine's daily calls to the hospital or the threat of the two of us camped out in their offices for two days, but something worked. Despite a 0% predicted likelihood from the hospital of getting an appointment any sooner than 3 weeks out, Kristine is now scheduled to see Dr. Patel this coming Monday morning at 9am.

I'm not really one to believe in astrology. However, there is no other explanation for this serious of good fortune other than the luck that a Leo draws to them during their birth month.
