Christmas Program

-
Annual school Christmas program last night. They were both super excited, and Rory kept saying she was n-e-r-v-o-u-s. She spells EVERYTHING these days.

There was lots of debate over clothing this year. Camden had to have a white shirt, tie and black pants. Thankfully he had a tie and pants that still fit from last year, but no shoes to match. I voted for converse because they look cute (seriously, he is not going to wear black dress shoes anywhere else). He said the tie was choking his vocal cords (totally wasn't tight at all). And he is not a fan of hair product, but he didn't get a vote last night.

Rory literally has one dress to her name right now. It's this cute Matilda Jane (purchased at 40% off thank you very much), but it is distinctly not fancy or Christmasy. I decided to just go with it instead of purchasing a fancy dress she'll never wear again, and she was pretty much the only one not all gussied up. Oh, and those tights? Brian kinda hated them, but MJ is all about the mismatching fabrics and they came with the dress so I just went with it. ;)

Let me just say it was a L.O.N.G. 90 minutes on the bleachers, but they all did such a good job.  And they look super cute, right?

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
