Making the Band

-
On the way home from school yesterday.

Rory: I've decided I'm definitely starting a band.

Me: Oh, yeah? Well, who's going to be in it? (because this is the first I've heard about a band)

Rory: I was thinking you and Camden.
Maybe Daddy can jump in there if his back is better on Saturday.
You can play the piano. I haven't come up with a job for Camden yet.

Camden: You know I can sing, right? (a little indignantly)

Rory: But I was going to be the singer! (said in a very whiny voice) 
Can you whistle?

Camden: Seriously. I can sing. (starting to get disgusted)

Rory: I just have to find a song where I know all the words.

Camden: Oh, boy. I'm out.

I'm not sure where this band enthusiasm came from, but she laid on my bed listening to music on my phone for almost an hour and then informed Brian when he came home that our band was called The Lewis's Family Themed Band and asked him to join it. Camden is officially out.

Pulled out the camera when we got home yesterday because (as the kids informed me) I've slacked off of my weekly picture lately.

Camden is kind of okay with the camera.

This trick works almost every single time.

I don't know how he resists her.

Turns out he can't.

I love the second picture of them. I love the look on his face. He just has that look of a slightly annoyed big brother:-)

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
