Good news

-
I should remember this from Camden's adoption process, but bad news changes to good news almost daily and vice versa! So if I have a bad day, the good news is that it's very likely to be a good day soon. We found out this morning that we should be able to move the first part of April, which means only 4-5 weeks living with the in-laws and we'll get back on track with the adoption sooner rather than later! It's a roller coaster ride!

Came home from work last night, and was worried Camden was getting sick. He only wanted me! This just doesn't happen often anymore! So I had Camden, his blanket, giraffe, and puppy all curled up on my lap last night. He was so sweet. We used to do this all the time in the evenings, especially when Brian is gone to class, but it just doesn't happen much anymore. He's too busy! I'm a tad worried about his musical taste. When the singers would audition, he would say, "They're not very good. They shouldn't scream when they sing." He didn't like any of them, until the lady in yellow came on. If you watched, you know what I'm talking about! She started singing, and he perked up and said, "She's a good singer, mommy." Oh, boy!

I finished up a layout last night using pictures from this summer. I think they're so funny. Camden was "holding" Xavier and kissing him, and Xavier just kept slipping further and further down the couch and Camden held on for dear life.

I also laughed out loud! That is so cute/funny--Camden kissing a disappearing Xavier! Re: the Grants Farm Picture--wish we had let someone else take the pic so you could have been in it. It's really a good picture, but lacking because of that.

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic

Scenes from the Soccer Field

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang
