Been to the festival

-
Yesterday Brock, Leda and I joined Rachel, Calean, Tristan, Granddad and Fay at the Irish and Scottish Festival in KofP. Leda and I did this last year, this year Daddy joined us!

We went to see Calean's Daddy Nick play in his band Rathkeltair . We love Rathkeltair! I highly recommend if they play in your area that you make an effort to catch them live. And, if you have an Irish Festival in your area, go have fun - it's a blast! Us Irish know how to through a party! ;-)

Leda was having a lot of fun running around and dancing with her cousins. Especially Tristan, who runs EVERYWHERE! Leda would just run right after him. It was quite a workout for the adults!

There was GREAT music and some funnel cake and pretzels and ice cream and Guinness! (not for the kids, although Leda did get her finger in mine once or twice. What can I say, she's Irish, it's in her blood!) ;-)

We got to say hi to Nick and watch his old band Seven Nations play a few songs before we headed home with the group to meet Uncle Wayne and have a nice dinner made by Brock! Leda had so much fun and completely collapsed when we got her into bed after everyone left!

Of course, there would be lots of cute pictures, if I had remembered to bring the camera! Oops!

It was a great day. We had lots of fun! I think Leda really loves her cousins!

Today, the Daytona 500 and a bunch of guests to join us for the festivities! Daddy's making some chili and black bean soup! So we'll all stay warm while watching the race! Hope ya'll are doing something to stay warm and enjoy the day today!

Second Opinions and Trusting the Process

So what do you do when you get a diagnosis of terminal cancer? Ok, yeah, you freak out. I’m pretty sure that’s what I experienced the first week of this new life. You start thinking of all the last things you will be doing. That’s where my head went. When we met with our oncologist, who came very highly recommended and, as it turns out, was the Dr my primary Dr team WANTED for me, I had only known for exactly a week and had only had my biopsies done that morning so we still didn’t know exactly what kind of breast cancer I had. The meeting was a blur. I remember having two questions…should I change my diet and what is the prognosis?  So, let me step back, Dr V (Dr Maria Vershvovsky…..yeah, no one can pronounce her name well, thus, the Dr V!) is with Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center and associates with Chester County Hospital….the best cancer center in this area of PA and one of the best hospitals….20 mins from home, so we are really lucky. My Dr was very certain that this is the D

 Do you know how often I think of cancer now? Every damn day. Almost all day long, in some cases. I try to keep thinking about other things, but it all comes back to damn cancer. So if I haven't responded lately, it's mostly because I just don't want to talk about f'ing cancer. Know I am okay...I'm dealing with treatments right now and hoping that they start working (or are working) and working with my Dr and team to stay as healthy as one can be with cancer.  There is so much that is out of my hands right now. It sucks. I am attempting to stay as hopeful as I can, but there are times when I just want to not have cancer and be angry and upset about the fact that that will never happen now. So, bare with me....and if I don't answer, don't think it isn't because I don't appreciate the contact - I really do and I love my people. I just don't want to talk about cancer or how I feel right now! ;)

So looking forward to a four day weekend!

Yes, we have recovered (mostly - I am the lucky one to have continued with a cough that won't go away, but other than that...) Work is busy and I have promised two pies (yes - don't laugh!) for Thanksgiving dinner at our neighbor's house on Thursday. And, I have a slide show I have to complete for our reunion on Saturday night (yes, 20th high school reunion - how scary is that?). So, can you understand why I am SO looking forward to four complete days at home doing no work? Besides, I get to spend it with her: I mean, wouldn't that be SO worth it? Pictures will be forth coming - I mean, really, do you think I'd go to my 20th reunion without my camera??
