What happened to spring?

-
We have skipped right over spring and moved to summer. We're supposed to be 87 degrees for the next 3 days! I've got to pull out my own summer clothes today (the kids have been ready for weeks now LOL).

Camden has a baseball game tonight, but we have our first free Saturday in what seems like months tomorrow. Still haven't decided what we're going to do with it, although staying in bed all day sounds good to me. I'm pretty sure the kids will not agree with that plan!

I'm operating on 4 hours of sleep and Camden and Rory were both up at 6:30 this morning so I'll keep it short and sweet this morning. Two quick Rory things: (1) She asked me why trees are so big yesterday. Seriously. She's 2. How did I manage to get 2 children who NEVER stop asking questions. She's had "why," "how come," "what happened," down for months now and Camden is a question machine. (2) She's learned that telling me she needs to go potty gets her out of time out; of course, she's outed now, and I don't plan to fall for that trick again. Hopefully, I won't be cleaning up big girl "unawear" in my effort to not fall for it.


Last year Camden's big outdoor activity was digging; this year it's baseball.

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

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
