I have thought a lot lately about children and how they deal with cancer of a loved one or their own cancer and treatments. A and E, our sweet children, have been troopers. Being 15 and 13, they are appropriately self focused. They are willing participants when we need to talk about decisions regarding my…

Hey you guys. Well, the snow did amount to something after all. We woke on Friday morning to a beautiful white canopy at our house. I know some were cursing the heavens, but “G.O.’s” love the first snows.  I do. Last night I received a bunch of calls from the anesthesia department at the hospital just…
11/5/09 Day 16
This morning I’m watching the first snowfall from our dining room window. It’s not amounting to much, which is good because I have some appointments this afternoon, but it still gets me in the mood. I love the change of seasons, whatever time of year it is. I feel really close to normal today. I just cleaned…

Today I went for a Post Op Camisole fitting…it’s a sexy garment that I get to wear after surgery until the drain comes out. Talking with others who have been through surgery, the improvements over the years caused a bit of camisole envy I think. There’s even a pocket for the drain. The “fitta” was really…

I’ve heard from several people that they were chomping at the bit waiting for the surgery news.  Several loved ones told me/us that they were checking the site throughout the day on Monday to get the skinny.  The analytics site told B that the viewing of the site peaked incredibly that day. We were intentional in our writing…
The Conundrum
B: We’ve gotten happy news lately, and we’ve completed the neo-adjuvant chemo. Ironically this hasn’t been just butterflies and light. From what I’ve seen,  P has been so focused on getting done with Chemo, that she kinda lost sight of the ball. We’ve had to deal with a lot more, and different, side effects this round…
We feel you
I’m having a tea this morning before we leave for the appointment with our surgeon. I was reminded yesterday, and have been quite regularly, that amidst all the food, rides, chores, surprises arriving every day on our doorstep, we are significantly blessed with love and support from afar. Late last night I awoke and could…
Good news & the more information we get, the more questions we have
Friday was a busy day. We met with the oncologist and to our surprise didn’t talk about the PET results until just before we concluded the meeting. She did an exam and believes all that she felt was scar tissue from the chemo. The PET didn’t “light up” anywhere. This is good. Like so good that…
Cycle 4, day almost 2
So here’s what I did all day yesterday: I went to the infusion, rides by angels both ways. S#1 arrived at my house right on time, all cheery and lovely. She drove me in and stayed with me till I was all snug in my chemo chair with the best view of the beautiful gardens…
