Date Night!

-
I feel like it's been forever since we've had date night, but in reality it's only been about 6 weeks. Generally, our dates consist of dropping the kids off, driving 45 minutes to Nashville, rushing through supper and errands so we can make the drive home in time to get the kids to bed at a decent hour. Tonight, Camden and Rory are having a sleepover at Gram and Gramp's house, and I couldn't be more excited. I know we'll miss them, but I'm kinda looking forward to not having a bedtime/morning routine. Rory has only spent one night away from us, and it didn't go well but that's been quite a while ago and I'm hopeful that she'll be fine. We're just a few minutes away so I can always go get her if we need to. We're headed here for dinner and then I'd like to say that we'll be making the mature choice and seeing The Blind Side, but my inner teenage girl is prevailing and we're going to (finally) go see New Moon. The Blind Side will have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

Let me know what you think of New Moon. I'm still trying to talk Jason into it! LOL. Hope Rory does well with her sleepover. Our kids haven't done that yet; not sure how it would go.

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
