Sweet Baby

-
So my "definitely a Monday" theme has unfortunately continued through the week. The worst thing is that we're currently down to one car because they've discontinued the part we need for our car. Seriously. Discontinued. Still not sure what we're going to do about that. The latest thing is that I got a parking ticket yesterday afternoon. I was having lunch with a friend when it happened so I've decided it was worth it.

Not everything has been bad this week. Not only did I get to meet my friend for lunch yesterday, but I also got to see another friend and her new baby. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned a time or two that Rory loves babies. I mean seriously. loves. babies. Of course, most of her experience with babies is with her dolls, but she loves them. And little Emmalyn was no different. She immediately wanted to hold her, feed her, and kept talking to her in a very high-pitched voice. She would be the best big sister ever. Maybe one day.

And now I'm off to order coffee because to top it all off, we ran out this week. :)

Great job, Melissa! And I agree Rory would make a good big sister. : )

Sorry to hear about your car. Is there anything you can do to fix it?

Love Rory's hair clip - I've got to "shake the money tree" and order some of those. So cute!

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
