Tuesday's Tidbits

-
Clearly, I did not do a photo post yesterday, but I have a good excuse since Brian had to pack up my desktop where all my pictures live.

We're moving, if you haven't heard. ;) In the midst of packing, we discovered bridesmaid dresses from both of my sister's wedding. I have to say they fit (and look) better now than they did when I wore them for the occasion. Losing a few pounds is still one small thing I can thank cancer for. Not that I have plans to wear them again unless we magically win a cruise and I need to dress up for dinner. But it was kind of fun to try them on anyway. Rory, especially, thought it was fun. And thank goodness for good taste because style-wise I probably could still wear them even though it's been, well, a long time.

When Brian met our new landlord to look at the house, Camden was with him and under strict orders to not say a word. Brian said they took one step in the house and Camden blurted out, "I want to move in here. RIGHT NOW!"

Rory follows me around the house pointing her finger at me saying, "Take it easy on yourself, mama. Take it easy on yourself."

Wish us luck today. Not only are we moving, but I have an appointment with Dr. W and hope to get a little more information regarding what treatment plan he thinks I need.

Camden and I must think alike. After trying to play it "cool" with the realtor when we were looking at houses, I walked into one and said "I'm home!". We put in an offer two days later and move in next month. ; ). When you know, you know I guess!

Thinking of you and hoping everything goes well today - moving and doctors.

Anyone happen to snap pictures of the bridesmaid dress-up?? : )

Okay- thinking of you today! How fun to try on the bridesmaids dresses. I have a classic black one I still hang onto as well that still hangs in the closet and could be worn again.

I am so very sorry for all that you and your family are going through. It just isn't fair. Rory sounds so wise.

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
