Cancer revisited...

Well, I had a scan yesterday and we got the disappointing results today. Unfortunately, the spot in the center of my chest wall has grown on this latest chemo.

I was kind of expecting the results, but it was still really hard to hear. Todd took the afternoon off work so that he could go in with me & it was wonderful to have him there. We are starting on a new chemo tomorrow and we'll just continue our prayers that God guides us to the one that works on my cancer. Each reoccurrence makes it harder & hurts my odds, but I still really have faith in God's plan for me. I also feel blessed that we've made it this far. Today was the funeral for Tony Snow, the White House press secretary who announced he had cancer last fall. It's been over 3 years for me now & I'm still going strong (or pretty strong). I don't always keep up with the kids, but I am not sure I would have even without the cancer. I was able to survive our trip to Disney in May & on a day to day basis we try to keep life as normal as possible.

Thanks so much for everyone's prayers and support though. We couldn't have done as well as we have so far without our families and friends.

My plan is to work on this blog at my chemo appointments so I'll try to do a better job. The cycle is two weeks on - one week off, so every week or so I should have an update. Talk to you soon!
