Full of mixed emotions...

Last week Deven and I celebrated our 15 year anniversary. It is so crazy to think I have been married that long... but when you are married to your best friend it just comes so easy! Our cruise was relaxing and most of all it was a nice break from the chaos life has become lately.

On the 13th, Laurie had her lumpectomy... things went well and the cancer had not spread to her lymphnodes thank goodness. She is a fighter... Love you, Laur!

Today my Dad had a doctor's appointment, my Dad has been expressing concern that the cancer has been spreading due to more constant pain in his back and hip, along with a nagging feeling of being warn out 24/7. I attended the appointment as I knew that we were about to take the next "step" in his fight! It looks like it is time for my Dad to do at least one "round" of chemo... I think I have become somewhat complacent due to the fact that nothing really seems to be changing with him... my eyes were opened wide in the aspect of lies ahead.

My Dad is having a bone scan next week and hopefully we will know better the path the cancer is taking and how best to plan the "counter attack".

Emotionally I am trying to hold things together... but today has been a bit rough as reality peeks its ugly head again... hopefully sleep will exist tonight!
