Cake and more cake
Daniel turned the big 3-9, then one week later Kenzie turns 13. We'll officially have a teenager in the house!

Scan update
I finally worked up the nerve to call the cancer center and speak to the radiation team. I let them know that Dr. Fu, my radiation oncoclogist, wasn't convinced my PET was clear and had recommended another scan once the radiation left my body.
She was out of the office and my call was returned the next day. The nurse advised that Dr. Fu spoke to my main oncologist (that oversees all my care) and he stated I was under his care and he did not want me scanned until January. So there we have it!
I'm not thrilled that a qualified physician sees something on my scan, and I have to live with the 'what if's' through the holidays. But I have faith in my main oncologist and my husband and I basically think he just wants to give me a break!
So, unless I feel nodes popping up I won't be in contact with my medical team until my January appointment. :)

Delay
We've been passing around the same cold for a while now. I'm sorry I haven't been online for a while.
We're doing well and enjoying fall. Kenzie turns THIRTEEN this month and we just can't believe it. I met her when she was six and Kayla was four. Daniel turns the big 39 this month as well.
We invested in a few new Wii games and have been having a blast. Guilty Party is our favorite...it's kind of the Wii version of Clue.
Soon we are having professional pictures taken outdoors in St. Charles. I'm so excited about it--- the textures and colors of the outdoors, the wardrobe change we're allowed, coordinating the five of us but not being too 'matchy' ... trying to manage my short, unruly hair.... I'm ecstatic, honestly!
I've seen the photographer's work and am so excited to have ours done! I'd like to have a marker that at the end of this crappy year, WE MADE IT and this is what we look like!! :)
I'm a total dork. You can be sure I'll post them when we get them. I'm buying some sequin-ey sparkly headbands for the occasion!
Humbled by those with Hodgkin's and refractory Hodgkin's that have come before me and I've had the honor of getting to know. Extreme sadness this week in friend's I've become close with and lost to this stupid cancer in recent weeks. The word REMISSION is worth more than gold and I'm thankful I've heard it. Continued prayers it stays that way.
Love to all--
Cathy
