Good Fortune

-
Leda and I are having a girls weekend since Brock is off doing One Lap stuff this weekend.

So I picked her up after work and we headed over to the local Chinese place (in the local supermarket...it's quite good) and we ordered ourselves a little Chinese dinner. Then off to home to eat what Leda described as "Yum, DELICIOUS!" several times during dinner. She said something about Mommy making the best dinners, too, I do believe! ;-)

After dinner she got to have some ice cream since she was so good for me at the store and she ate a really good dinner and we settled down to watch a little Emeril Live - it was an old one from a year or so ago with Jimmy Buffett. Leda and I danced to the music together and had a genuinely awesome time, just us girls.

Just before bed, I let her have her fortune cookie (yeah, yeah, sugar, smuger!) She opened her cookie and of course started shoving it in her mouth while I read her fortune - "You will be successful in everything." What more could a parent want for their child's fortune? Well, I could think of a few other things, but this one is pretty darn good!

I opened my cookie and got my fortune - "You love peace." We hit the jackpot on good fortune tonight, my girl and I!

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! ;)

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??
