Every three months we make the tough trip for Cutler’s quarterly check up with the oncologist.  It’s no longer a fear of the test results that make it so tough, but more the natural reaction my body has as it reacts to the memory of our first couple trips there.  Aside from my issues, Cutler’s results were normal as usual and he handled giving blood like a champ.  As he usually gets his finger poked in an effort to take blood he offered it up as soon as the lab tech entered the room, unfortunately this test required more blood and so he had to give it via the needle to the vein.  He gave it an initial cry when he was stuck, but quickly recovered and was excited to get the blue wrap on his arm.  So all in all, it was a good trip with great results and it is always good to see the doctors and staff and of course Cutler’s best friend…the great big bear in the lobby.
