Friday

-
I'm taking a break from the multiple errands and FOUR grocery store visits I'm making today to let you know I'm signing off for a couple of days. 

Or possibly not signing off because I never seem to stay away quite as long as I think. I'll have family in town to chat with next week so maybe I won't need to write down my words. ;)

After my full day of Thanksgiving prep today, we have a crazy weekend scheduled. Some work, some fun. The kids are off school all next week, and my parents arrive Monday evening. Brian, unfortunately, has to work Monday/Tuesday. I have managed to put off all organizing and cleaning until Monday, which seemed like a good idea earlier this week but maybe not such a great idea as the clutter has increased every day. The good news is that I have reserved Monday for cleaning and I'm fairly certain my family will not hold it against me if everything doesn't get finished.

These two have both lost teeth (2 apiece) in the last couple of days, bringing Rory's total up to 7 . . . since the summer. Basketball in hand because it has been the game of the week around here.

Hope you enjoy every minute of time with your family. I'm so bad about putting off the housework, too. I still could just gobble Rory up with those bangs! Absolutely love them!

So teeth loss happens in groups, huh?! S is down two and another one is loose. I need it to stop! ;-)

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
