Back to life

I'm back to work tomorrow. I'm ready. We have four more weeks until the end of the semester. Carole and Renee did a great job of covering me while I was gone but it's time to step back in and finish things up. I'm looking forward to seeing my students and I know I have a stack of about 60 research papers to read. Oh joy! Renee and I will continue to pack and move our offices and the microbiology lab into our new space. The next month is gonna be busy. I'm not sure if I mentioned in my previous post but I will just receive one rituxan treatment for now (May 4th) and we will wait to continue the treatments after we get the second opinions on my case. I'm nervous, and a little bit glad I'll be getting a port installed. I'm NOT happy to be having another surgery but I am happy I won't have to freak out about the IV for every treatment. I'm anxious to get the second opinion... I'm worried the local pathologist could be wrong and I actually have some horrible, aggressive, terminal lymphoma. Sorry, don't mean to be paranoid, just want to be sure :)
