Monday

We had a lovely weekend with a little bit of warm weather and sunshine and a little bit of cold weather and rain. Today it is only supposed to be 42 with lots of rain so it feels as if spring only teased us last week. We had a delicious meal of Korean BBQ and dumplings Saturday night. I suppose I should feel a bit embarrassed that this was our first foray into the world of Korean cuisine, but I'm going to skip the self-loathing and just resolve to cook more Korean food.

I stayed up much too late riveted/horrified by the coverage of the health care bill last night and so I am dragging this morning. Four hours of sleep are somehow just not enough. :) On the agenda today is watching the rain from the front window and dream of sunshine while trying to conquer the huge pile of laundry currently residing in the bathroom. I am VERY excited to be starting this photography class today! I am hoping to learn my camera a bit better and maybe actually learn what I'm doing instead of wasting alot of time guessing on my settings.

I took these pictures Friday while we were out and about. Not happy with the original or with the editing, but I'm going to post anyway because pics with these two don't happen often.Poor Brian does not get alot of love from Rory - this is usually what happens when he tries to kiss her.

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
