새해 복 많이 받으세요 Happy New Year

-
Happy Lunar New Year! I'd like to say we're celebrating, but we're pretty bad at these holidays. My goal for the year is to remember Children's Day. Sad, I know. We did have a little family outing last week that we deemed a Lunar New Year celebration, and we're eating Korean food tomorrow night. At a Chinese restaurant, but Korean food. :)

Day 2 from the Joy of Love class was to document "how they look" so Rory and I headed outside (in the freezing cold) to try to take a quick picture. I originally planned to use this picture I happened to snap as she was beginning to give me the look that says, "are you serious?"

But then when she fell and started laughing, I dropped to the ground and snapped this one to use instead. Cause this is how she looks - always giggling.

I was sneaky with these pictures - we were not dressed for the day. I just plopped the hat on her head so I didn't have to fix her hair and she put her coat on over her p.j.'s. These days if I promise she can do some running around, she's pretty happy to pause every once in a while for pictures.

I tend to be drawn to color pictures, but I made my own little black and white conversion and was pretty proud of myself.

f2.2, 1/3200ss, ISO800 - clearly, I had my settings messed up. The ISO should be much lower, which would have also resulted in a lower shutter speed.

I love that photo in black and white. I've had some wiggy settings myself lately. I need to start paying attention to what I am doing!

And, I'll remind you of Children's Day... ok!? ;-)

That is awesome! My pic for day 2 wasn't nearly as good.

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
