Baby steps = BIG HOPE

Dear God,
I know you have been hearing from me a lot lately, but this time I want to say thank you.  Thank you for finally giving us something to grab onto.  Please continue to work your miracles.
Amen

We met with an Oncologist from Wenatchee I wish I could remember her name but I filled my brain with so much information that her name must of fell out.   :-s  oops!  It doesn't matter right now anyway.  She told us that we have options, options that the other assholes failed to mention.  She said that she is in strong favor for radiation and chemo.  I know what your thinking "chemo" "oh".  But..... with the advances in medicine the chemo he would be getting would actually make him feel better - not worse, and if he did get side affects then they would change the kind of chemo he's getting.  It is not a cure and it wont take the cancer away, but it will add quantity and quality of life to this whole messed up situation.  She is talking 1-2 years instead of months.  He will have to do the radiation in Wenatchee but the chemo can be done here in Omak.  She is also wants him to take Vit. D and Calcium along with a prescription to strengthen his bones.  God knows our days seem to be numbered before he breaks his hip. (I hope not)  When radiation starts they will radiate spine, hip, femur, arm and esophagus (will help him swallow)

So here is where we stand....

1. We finally have a doctor that sees some hope.
2. MRI Wednesday so they can pin point the exact spots to shoot with radiation
3. Dr. Lamberton Thursday to check the break and explain how they are gonna shoot radiation thru the cast
4. Friday - Meet with radiation oncologist.  Get game plan set and tattoos in place.
5. Next week - it all starts

It was a big day today, a very positive, and hope full day.  I know I probably missed some important information.  Sorry I will have to catch you up though next blog. :)

I want to send a message to my mom.  I want you to know that I am sorry.  I'm sorry for all the stress you have been under and the constant pain of staying strong.  You have every right to be pissed off and sad.  I'm sorry I'm the one who makes you break. :(   If you need it I will do it, just ask.  If you have problems gettin' his socks on his square flinstone feet call me I will do it.  If you just need some time to yourself, call me.  I would be more than happy to come sit and argue with dad.  I love you and I'm here for you.  Don't worry about me - I got your back!!!
