Win #1

-
Camden's first baseball game of the season was Saturday and it was a fun day (after the snake episode was behind us anyway). It started with team pictures and all the parents scrambling to keep their kids off the ground to preserve the white pants and hats until the picture was taken. :) It was Jamboree Day which means that everyone in our entire county was at the ball park. All teams (all ages and genders) played an abbreviated game to kick off the season.

Camden's team won 12-1 (definitely a first for his team). It was a good boost for them, but to be honest the other team was full of cute little 4-year olds who didn't have a clue what they were doing. He was up to bat twice. The first time (he leads off the batting order) he just barely nicked the ball and it ended up right in front of him. Because of the cute little 4-year olds who didn't know what they were doing, he actually had a home run from that little hit. The second time at bat he had a fabulous hit, but because of the cute little 4 year old on our own team who didn't know what he was doing and refused to get off 2nd base, Camden only had a single. Seriously, there is not much more fun than 4-6 year old boys playing baseball (and I'm not even a baseball fan. Shhhhhh).

These pictures are definitely poor quality. I need a new lens (coughcoughBriancoughcough) to take baseball pics!

Nothing cuter than little boys in baseball uniforms

side note: he's no longer the smallest one - he's the one on the end (right side)

Way to go, Camden!!! Ellis has his 2nd game tonight so I will finally get to see the "baseball" I've been hearing about! Oh - tell Camden that Ellis is a Cardinal too! : )

I totally can't comment after Brian. Well, at least not what I was originally going to say...

So I'll go with "cute!" And that kid on the left cracks me up...

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
