Okay, for all you Blogger experts, I have 2 questions.

(1) WHY are my pictures never clear on the blog even though they are perfectly clear on my computer. As soon as I post them, they lose clarity and color. I've tried saving for web and posting full size.

(2) How do you reply via email to comments? I cannot figure this one out either.

Help, please!

I am no blogger expert but I think the picture quality has to do with blogger probably compressing the image. I just increased the size of my blog and made it so my pictures are bigger now and that seems to have helped for me. You can email me if you want to know about all that. It would take forever to write it here.I have no idea about the email and comments thing.

So the way I solved the crappy blogger photo posting is that I compose all of my posts in wordpress, then copy and paste into blogger. I find wordpress a much easier platform to deal with, but blogger enables me to (hopefully someday) make a little $$ through advertising.
Email... you're on gmail, right? Mine just remembers people I've written before. I just reply to the notification I receive in my email. But if you haven't written someone before, I'm not sure what you do...

You must protect your family and only give out your e-mail if you think safe. You could sit up a new e-mail with Yahoo, which is free, one possibility.
This way your box would still be personal.

No idea about the pictures, but for comments, I LOVE discus. I recently put it on our blog and it's fabulous. Your can actually reply to people's comments right under theirs, or you can log into your discus account and actually see the email address that they used to leave the comment on your blog.

LOVE, love, love the new 'test' picture of Rory!!!!!!! She's such a stinker, just like Briar, I can tell!!!!!!

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
