Here’s the dorky picture we sent to Brian’s parents. We couldn’t take a decent picture to save our lives that day.

DAMN, Damn, damn!

We just had a visit with Brian’s doctor and the tumor in his chest is still there. This means that he’ll have to do another month of chemo (2 weeks on/2weeks off) before he can do the high dose chemo/stem cell transplant.

Ugh! We hate setbacks.

I listed the house too. I hope this will buy us some time to sell the house before the transplant.

Home alone

Tomorrow Brian gets admitted to the hospital for a week of inpatient chemo. I’ll be sleeping home alone. Ick. I think I’ll spend a couple of nights at my mother’s house. At least the hospital is right across the street from my office so I can visit him during the day.

Treatment update

So Brian will go into the hospital next Thursday for his next round of treatment. He’ll be getting one drug via a 24 hour drip. This is why he has to be in the hospital. The other drugs are quick. Hopefully, he won’t be too miserable. I’ll have to find some fun toys to keep him busy.

I want WARM!

I am so sick and tired of being cold! It’s spring for Pete’s sake!! When will it finally warm up??

Tuna is good!

Today is the first day of a new 6-day diet that Kevin and I are doing. It promises to help us lose 10 lbs in a week. We’re up for it. It requires you to eat a lot of tuna. I just ate my mid-morning snack of 3 oz of tuna and a cup of asparagus. We grilled the tuna on the Foreman and it was really good actually. I think I can handle this for 6 days….

Flowers!

One down, eleven to go

May 26, 2005 9:46 am

Brian has his first Chemo yesterday. It was much easier than either of us anticipated. It was a long day starting at 6:30 am for the port placement, ending at 4pm when chemo was done. He didn’t feel pukey yesterday which is great! He does feel really tired though. More of a body tired, than a brain tired. They gave him some anti-nausea drugs during chemo yesterday and he’s going to get an Rx for some more today so hopefully, they’ll keep the puke at bay. I hope the rest of the eleven treatments go as well as yesterday. Fingers crossed!

moving on

9:43 am

So I gave my “notice” to my temp job this week. The potential good job that I’m up for keeps telling me that it’s a done deal and I’ve decided to believe them. My last day here is June 7. That gives me 2.5 weeks off before the wedding and then a week off after the wedding for the honeymoom. God willing the “good job” will come through by then and I can start working for them after July 4. If not, we’re SCREWED. Let’s not think about that right now.
