Long Hun! And came home to find that my son hasn't done a friggin' thing all day and he's not even here!I'm fixing to have a come to Jesus meeting with that boy and it ain't going to be pretty!
Wish me luck that I don't run over my kids!!!
Yeah, the smell of freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee is incredible isn't it? It's divine! So different from what the can of Folgers smells like.
Haven't had Folgers since my parents past away. They didn't really drink kawfee though. It was more like they used the Folgers to tint water.
HugsWhew! Finally caught up, and please just consider everything as "Liked"![emoji38]
Alrighty, as promised, I wanna give y'all an update on the Dr. appointments and what-not...
CT and MRI scans were done Thursday, then Friday we saw the oncologist. Basically, the tumors have continued to grow in spite of the chemo treatments. Not only have the existing tumors grown, but there are also signs of new tumors... quite a few, but they are still so small as to be almost imperceptible. The decision was made to take her off of the IV chemo as it wasn't doing much good (perhaps slowing the growth, but not much else). There were two options for continued chemo treatment: one drug that could possibly cause liver damage (which she already has), and a very new oral-dose drug that was just released last summer. She'll be taking the new one. The studies have shown that it is very promising and has given Stage IV patients as much as an additional year of time. It was made clear to us that this is not a cure, but is a measure to extend our time. How much time is unknown (so, nothing new there). Basically, I guess not much has changed except that we aren't going to be doing the IV chemo any more and we're pretty happy about that. The oral-dose chemo will be less hassle (no more 1+ hour drives for treatment).
Other than that, we're both working very hard at not dwelling on it and just trying to enjoy our lives as they are. So, prayers and hugs are appreciated, but no more sadz... be happy, love the ones you are with while you have them, dance in the rain, play in the snow (just don't eat it if it's yellow!), and bask in the sunlight... Today is the present and that is all that matters. It is a gift and each day should be cherished. Now go love somebody!
I was hoping you would get better news, but the new treatment does sound promising for time I hope that you guys enjoy every moment together. I will make a prayer for a miracle, because miracles do happen Hugs One of my favorite quotes since I was a kid, I even used it as my senior quote when I graduated high school: "The way to love anything Is to realize that it may be lost" I try to love by that, because it makes me appreciate the ones I love, and to be a kinder person to those special people I have always thought it was a beautiful quote I am praying for you guys
Me too! Each chicken is completely different too. There are many people who think chickens are all the same and act exactly alike, but from my experience with my Dad's chickens growing up and mine now, I have found that they have different personalities from one another. I love that about animalsAwww...I love how each animal has it's own personality
Nope....that's what Bailey's Irish is for
