Monday

Our weekend was quite busy and included baseball practice, an afternoon at the movies (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs), a Celebration Service at church, and a church dinner. We didn't have church last night and we all crashed, took naps, and enjoyed the cold rainy weather from inside.

Rory's first week as a 3 year old has been interesting. She is pretty sure that her opinion is the only one that matters and has no problem correcting me, arguing with me, refusing to obey because "I don't want to do that." I have a feeling this is going to be a rough transition for her. Because let's be honest. She's 3, her opinion isn't the only that matters, and I am more stubborn than she is. :)

We're already battling the stubbornness... I'm afraid of what the future holds.

As for Rory, I can totally see her breaking out her new and improved sassy self!

Aaahhh... thrilling 3's. For Hannah, they were lots worse than terrible two's but I really shouldn't have just wrote that LOL!! Hannah was more stubborn at 3 than any other time. Hopefully Rory will not be the same way and three's will be a breeze! Love the picture of the 2 of them on your page! What a great shot you got!

When you get a chance, fill me in on this movie. Sounds terribly captivating! I don't want to be out of the loop just because I'm in Laos.

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
