A Few Things

-
Brian just called me to see if I was still alive since he checked the blog at lunch and not only was there no post, but I wasn't online. Shocking, I know.

It's not been a very eventful week and nothing seems to deserve an entire paragraph so I'm just going to bullet point a few things from the week.
  • We had our first spring thunderstorm last night and Rory has decided they are "scawy" and wouldn't leave my side. Considering how many storms happen in Tennessee in the spring, I really hope this isn't the beginning of a big fear for her.
  • Camden has started doing this weird Urkel laugh (come on, you know you remember that strange laugh). I've decided I better resign myself to it because it doesn't seem to be going away. And it's not exactly charming to be perfectly honest. :)
  • The one day I choose to not get dressed much less fix my hair or wear make-up (my prerogative as a SAHM) is the day that my former boss stops to talk in the pick-up line at Camden's school. Mortified.
  • I'm helping out at a baby shower tonight and when Camden saw the cute little dress I bought for a shower gift, he was very surprised and asked if babies are really that small when they come home. Of course, to him, "coming home" and "babies" usually involve an airport and we all know those babies aren't all that small. :)
  • Camden's first baseball game is tomorrow. Remember those white pants? Well, he now has a matching white hat. Seriously. What are they thinking? It will be clean for team pictures tomorrow and that's about it.
  • My photography class is going well. I think I'm learning and I'm definitely looking forward to the next few weeks of lessons.
Have a great weekend!

Camden is making me so happy today! Love the Urkel-esque laugh. But I really love his baby comment. Adorable.

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
