Second Round of Chemo Started off Good
Last week was great. Steve went to work, no doctor’s appointments, the girls fought like normal, I felt anxious about the girls fighting and Max pooped in the house. It was a normal week and it felt good. I think we needed that break from “cancer”. Just to realize that we are all still here and need to move along as normal as we can. It was nice. It recharged us for another week of Chemo. Dr. Sam told us that we “can’t change what is happening to Steve. We can only live each day as best as we can so we have no regrets.” And he is right. And while it’s hard to think that way every second of every day, we try…
Recent CT Scan & Update
Steve had another CT Scan last week and it showed that unfortunately the cancer is still spreading in his lungs. The liver is stable. He also has some pretty swollen Lympnodes near his lungs. His CEA is the same as it’s been the last 3 months – 11. We had a really good conversation with the doctor about what is happening and what we should do next. So here is the plan right now: 1. We are going to go to Dana Faber and talk to them about clinical trials. It’s not very likely Steve will do a trail, but we at least want to talk to them about it. 2. Steve will continue on the chemo he is on right now for 6 weeks…
Saying Good Night to Daddy….
Since we became parents, Steve has always given the girls a good night hug in kiss once they were in bed. It’s just something he always made sure he did. It sounds trivial, but it was important to him to kiss them good night and remind them how much he loved them. HE LOVED THEM SO MUCH! Tonight the girls said good night to daddy for the last time at home. Tomorrow Steve will be transferred to a Hospice Home where he can be cared for by people who can make him more comfortable than we can here. Mark and I tried our best but we are at a point where we need to hand it over to someone else. They will be giving him…
Good bye Steve!!
This morning I did the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I said good bye to my husband Steve. He peacefully passed away at 6:20 am and is no longer suffering. His soul is free from cancer, so he won! Thank you all so much for your prayers, friendship and love over these past 2+ years. Steve’s Obituary
Lemonade Stand for Colon Cancer
My daughter’s and their friends spent their day off from school today selling lemonade to raise money for Colon Cancer. I’ve never been more proud of them. Not once did they ask if they could keep any of the money. Instead they went inside and got their money they have in a donation jar of their own, and poured it into the bucket. We’ve raised $245.21 so far and still have some donations coming in. Being a parent is hard, but seeing these kids do things like this reminds me it’s all worth it and I am doing a good job. And so are my friends who’s kids joined my girls today to help out. It was a great day and my heart feels good.
