On Monday, we received bad news. After two clear scans, when we were told to expect progression and were clear, in April, my husband has 6 new tumors. In less than four months, Alyn has 2cm metastasises (mets) in his hip, rib and two in his lung. There are two other small mets - one is in his right shoulder blade, but the other is in his brain. I keep telling myself the brain met is small - 4mm. The problem is that the drug they want him to take to prevent future growth is not eligible for patients with brain mets.

Do You Have a Will?
If you do not have a will, and you have minor children, get one!
As an insurance agent, I have been talking about the importance of updated wills to all my clients. The problem? When our first child was born, we hurried out and completed our will, durable power of attorney and medical power of attorney.

Blue Skies
Alyn, Grace, Zachary and I are spending the most wonderful week being spoiled rotten at a Blue Skies Ministries Retreat. Blue Skies Ministries usually serves families who have a child with cancer. They invited us to attend this retreat thinking our family needs are very similar. I never imagined how much we needed this gift.
