Week 3! Time is really flying...

It's the end of week three! I can't believe it. In less than 5 days, we'll be on our way to climb Mt. Kenya...This week was pretty eventful: we participated in our first tumor board, which was really interesting because although it was similar to what we get exposed to back home, it was also different in many ways. With limited resources, access to certain medical care, and cost all being major issues, a lot of thought goes into determining what is feasible for many patients...In other news, there was a terrorist attack in Nairobi a few days back (with at least 8 people now reported dead). We were lucky to be safe and away from it all in Kijabe. In terms of the adventures we've had, last weekend was more hiking, zip-lining and archery. And this weekend will be more of the same, with a possible horse-back ride. Its been rainy and thundering this week, but that hasn't stopped us one bit!

The cutest little lamb that Dr. Garcia saw on one of her hikes (I think its just a day old)

At the "The Forest" enjoying a delicious dinner with Dr. Garcia, Ginger, Phillip and Nicholas :)

Dr. Garcia showing off her mad archery skills-- seriously, she's so good at it!

 

Archery competition....no surprise, I lost. And the instructor was helping me the whole time (I think he felt bad for me)

THE BEST ZIP-LINING GROUP EVER

Enjoying DELICIOUS chai at the top of the hill. Seriously this stuff is so good...

HIGH GRADE RENAL SARCOMA (It was a huge kidney mass!)

Interesting papillary neoplasm in the colon: it was signed out as at least high-grade intra-epithelial neoplasia/dysplasia with complexity worrisome for adenocarcinoma

UNTIL NEXT TIME :)
