Happy Halloween 2010

-
Brian took the kids to Gram and Gramp's house for a cupcake and treats and then did a quick swing by a local church for Trunk or Treat. Unfortunately, Rory was scared out of her mind and hated it, although Brian and I are both inclined to believe it's because I was unable to go with them. In fact, Brian said she was begging to come home as soon as they left the house despite the fact she'd been looking forward to it all day. She said the clowns (which she HATED) just made her miss mommy.

And the obligatory pics. Sorry there are none of them in action, but Brian is allergic to my camera these days. :) Plus, I guess he did have both kids to keep his hands full.

By the way, anyone remember this from last year (you have to scroll down to see the picture - you'll know which one when you get there)? The smooshed face in the helmet seems to be a theme for him. And I also find it totally funny that I said last year we don't really do Halloween. Apparently, we change our minds about that from year to year.

They look so adorable! Both years! But Rory looks like such a little one in that previous post!

Let's just call halloween what it is: an excuse to dress our kids up in cute costumes and use purple on a layout. Don't feel guilty about that, girl. ; )

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
