pit stop in dallas.

Since we were flying with FF points, we had the flexibility to change our flight time to enable us to make an appointment with Karen's dermatologist in Dallas on our layover en route home. Since we had learned that squamous cell is a skin & tissue cancer we thought it would be another piece of the puzzle to have Mike checked out by a trusted, big-city dermatologist. Dr. Hino checked Mike's exterior surfaces with a fine-toothed comb (actually a magnifying glass and bright light) and gave him a clean bill of health. Now we knew it must be inside somewhere. But I still hoped it was all a big mistake and there really were no cancer cells running loose in Mike's body.
