May already?

Two clues last week wasn't quite as quiet as I thought it would be? It's been 8 days since I blogged and Brian beat me home from work 3 days last week. When I was tempted to feel frustrated, I made myself focus on how fabulous it is that we can be this busy and that I'm not stuck at home sick. Gratitude is so much better than complaining!

Tonight marks Camden's return to baseball, and he could not have been more hyped up. It makes me appreciate his great attitude last year when we told him we needed to slow down our schedule and put sports on hold. He's such a good kid!

His new team is the Cubs, and he thinks it is hilarious that he's wearing a St. Louis Cardinals shirt to his first practice. He's been planning this for weeks; completely cracks me up.

In other news, they both got new glasses. I'm thinking it's a pretty good sign this mom did a good job picking out new frames when they look so natural it's hard to tell they're different. Doesn't hurt that there's not much variety for their non-existent Asian nose bridges.

We switched Ethan to Conot acts in the summer of 2013 (he was 10.5). He played football and way too hard to get the helmet over his Sports goggles and even when they did stay in place they fogged up =(

By the way super cute in their new glasses!

Love them in their glasses! I never would have known that there was a change. :) I’m hoping this week is a little quieter for you...

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
