Tried It, Liked It

A few things I've cooked/baked this summer that have made their way onto my Tried It, Liked It Pinterest board:

Banana Crumb Muffins - I left out the creamer because I didn't have any, but these were really good. Not too sweet, but that crumb topping made them perfect!


Pioneer Woman Caramelized Onion & Prosciutto Pizza - I might need a whole board just for my pizza recipes; definitely one of our favorite things to eat, and this one was delicious!

Iced Coffee - I've tried several recipes out this summer. This was the best concoction so far although I'd probably leave out the cinnamon next time.

Cucumber, Avocado, and Feta Salad - made this at lunch today, and it was amazing! I would have never really thought of this combo.

Grilled Ginger-Sesame Chicken Salad - YUM (I did not have hoisin or sesame seeds and it was great without them)

Blueberry Arugula Salad - I made a version of this: almonds instead of walnuts and drizzled honey and lemon juice on top with the blueberries, spinach, sliced sweet peppers, and feta. Surprisingly good!

On my list to make soon:

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

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
