The waiting game...

While they say patience is a virtue... I am not sure it is one I am in possession of! I wonder how or where I can find some...

My Dad finally got the results of his bone scan which until he sees the doctor consisted of nothing more than "your cancer is progressing"... don't they know what that does to a person... how far? how quickly? any new areas? anything we need to be concerned about... HELLOOOOO you need to be a little more specific! Thus my statement above... yeah I don't do well at this waiting thing. Chemo therapy we know is around the corner... but that too is a never ending question of when. They are asking my Dad to be part of a clinical trial for a new type of drug used in conjunction with chemo to combat prostate cancer. This of course "drags" out the processes as there are extra test etc that need to happen prior to determining if he is eligible to take part. I understand there are processes and procedures... but damn it I want to know the "time-line"

Yesterday we had a family meeting at my house to prepare everyone for the serious nature of chemo and how we all need to pull together to help my parents out in everyway we can... I was worried with the underlying emotions that things could get ugly... but all and all things went well. It is amazing how things like this can really pull a family together!

Laurie starts chemo next week... she is a little worried about the side effects... but she is strong! I am going to lunch with her tomorrow... I look forward to seeing her!

My hubby sent me flowers this last week reminding me that together we will make it through anything... he always seems to know when I am in need of the extra boost to get me through the day... he is my superstar!
