"I'm with You"

In a complete surprise to me,  Sara's story was released for all of us to see and share. I will never grow tired of watching. For anyone unable to view, I thought I'd share here. Its a good 30 minutes, but well worth your time. So many of the lessons she taught to so many of us are here. I love the fact that so many of us had such different take aways from her.

 



I had a surprise visitor on Sunday.  This is my Goddaughter Brynne.  Her mother Kristi, made the beautiful breast cancer quilt for me.  Before they left town from our girlfriends weekend, sweet Brynne came for a visit with her mom.  She was a little quiet initially.

But soon she started talking.  She talked and talked.  Eventually she allowed me to lift her onto my lap and take her shoes and socks off.  Barefoot, like me.  Our first bond formed.  I broke out the color crayons and a coloring book.  And then she asked for my attention... and I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe... she called me "Grammy."  I promptly added "box of hair color," to my Target list.

But it was Rick she really took to.  Her eyes followed him everywhere and he got the biggest smiles.  And despite the lack of hair on his head, he did NOT get called Grampie.  I'd say another Daddy's girl is in the making.  Having been a daddy's girl, I can spot them a mile away.

I had chemo yesterday and saw Dr. Panwalkar first.  His allergies were kicking in big time and he both looked and sounded rather miserable.  But he is the consummate professional and answered all of my questions.  He was also happy to hear about my new insurance.  He said he thought we'd monitor my tumors through blood tumor markers for awhile, instead of scans.  He also showed me the last ct scan I'd had in the middle of March.  My lung tumors?  Were noticeably shrinking!  Now we just have to wait until July to see what is happening in my head. 

Chemo round 4 week 1 officially done.
