here's the scoop...

Some changes were made at my appt. last Friday. My CAT scans showed some improvements but I am still have swelling in my right arm. We have decided to try a different drug "cocktail" and see where that takes us. I will be receiving it every three weeks x 3-4 treatments. The side effects are a bit different than what I was getting, more chance of nausea and fatigue. Although this means more total chemo treatments , I am glad we are switching to find one which is more effective for me. Overall, I am encouraged.
















Halloween was fun here in the new neighborhood. The kids really put on the miles trick or treating and got a ton of candy.

We were able to enjoy a fun weekend here despite me sneaking away for a nap now and then. My Brother and his kids came and visited
Lauren loves having Erica stay for sleep overs. My nephew Blake brought his Guitar Hero game alone and now Jack is HOOKED!!! He caught on quick and is really good at it. Speaking of Jack, his stitches came out last week and his knee looks great. Mom and Dad also visited yesterday. Knowing the kids were entertained and me being distracted from my "post -chemo" state made the weekend fun.

It was great to join Britton friends for breakfast and dinner last week. I continue to be overwhelmed by your concern and are grateful for all of the thoughts and prayers. They are working!
Enjoy your week!
