Weekend fun...

-
It's a girl's weekend...Daddy is off working for the weekend and Leda and I are left here to fend for ourselves. I think we are doing a pretty darn good job of it!

I still don't understand the mind of a toddler...will sleep late during the week but just about never fails to wake up in the 6 o'clock hour (that would be closer to the 6 in the AM!) on the weekends. Both days. What is up with that?

Granted, I have work to do this morning...better to do it earlier than later, since we have a big day ahead! But still!

Anyway, yesterday was a fun day. Leda and I got ourselves dressed and ready for the day fairly early. As we were getting dressed, I had the local news on and they were doing a piece on all the Friday Night high school football games and Leda started cheering..."Go Eagles! Go Eagles!" I had to explain to her that yelling Go Eagles was a very good thing, but only when the Eagles were playing. I tried to explain to her that there are other football teams. That we can cheer on other teams, but they had other names. She seemed to get it, of course, she did ask what the teams names were...like I know! Anyway, she yelled, "Go!Go!Go! Get a Touchdown!" a few times at the TV. And I mean YELLED! Oh, yeah, she's so a Cunningham!

We got on with our day. We headed down to the county campaign headquarters for our candidate for a little volunteer time...made a few phone calls while Leda played in the kids corner. She was such a good little girl. Everyone was very impressed with her. She really did behave extraordinarily well. For about an hour and a half. The last half hour we were there she was just good...she got pretty comfortable there, so she was doing a bit more running around and shouting! So, it was time to go. But not until we tried to clean them out of buttons and balloons!

We headed home, took naps and then headed down to Wilmington to have dinner with Daddy where he was staying for work. We hadn't done this before, but did it this time because an old family friend was working with Daddy, Stan Peters, and Stan had asked that we come down and have dinner with them. It was nice to see Stan, who I have known since I was a kid. We had a great dinner. Leda was fairly well behaved, except for the fact that there was a chocolate cookie and chocolate milk involved, so she was on full speed!

Today, I am hopefully working a little this morning then we are going to head off to join Aunt Jennifer and Paige at the barn to see the parade of carriages! Then Daddy will be home early this afternoon and then we are off to Danny's 4th birthday party! WooHoo! More sugar! WooHoo!

It promises to be a hot day today! I hope it's just as fun!

 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! ;)

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

June will be better

 Well, yeah, little updates since March. It was decided with the oncologist that we would get a scan and after the scan, we decided to continue with Ibrance and get additional scans in 6 weeks (beginning of May). After the scans in the beginning of May and another biopsy on my right breast which basically is inflammatory at this point and is not responding to any treatment, Dr. V decided we would try Xeloda - Chemotherapy but in the form of a pill. May started out okay, but between the scans and the biopsy and anemia I've gotten from the treatments (and the cancer), I have just found myself exhausted and not feeling great. I also had trouble eating, which my Dr thinks is anxiety....which is new to me!  I was starting to feel better last Sunday (5/22) when Dr. V called me - she was reviewing my scans again, really trying to determine what the next steps should be and told me that she wants to skip the Xeloda and go right to IV Chemo. Last week was a whirlwind of scheduling time off
