New Accessory
Okay, so he actually needs them to see, but he's so darn cute, I'd almost make him wear these glasses for no other reason than he looks cute.
Of course, he also looks way too grown up, but I guess that happens eventually anyway.
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...

For Ethan the sports goggles have been so worth the $100+ they cost (he almost wears them more than the other two pairs he has) and the pair Ethan has that looks a lot like Camdens' pair we had them do the transitional lens so they turn into sunglasses. Very helpful! Good Luck and yes VERY ADORABLE!!!!
