Well Sheri's Doctor scheduled a CT, bone, and MRI scan for this coming Monday. On one hand we're excited to get an update, on the other: scans=bad news, in the past. All indications are that things are progressing as planned, but we hadn't planned to be here in the first place. So we go in Monday anxious and optimistic, it's a weird feeling, but we're learning to live in this new "weird world". Alyssa did great and found that Mommy's chemo isn't so scary, but kinda fun. They have a juice bar there.....Cool! Pray for good results on the scans. Specifically they're looking at Sheri's liver and bones. This is like getting a report card that you have no control over what grades you get. It is what it is. The results will give the doctors a clearer idea of our path for the months to come, including surgeries, hormone therapies, and maybe more chemo. My Mom (who's dealing with cancer herself for 16 years now) tells us to be flexible, don't get too hung up on today's results or schedules.....they will change. We know she's right, still you kind of get your heart set a certain way and...........I guess God pushing this wheelbarrow, not me. That's probably a good thing! Go Cougs.

We'll get the scan reports on Thursday when we go back in for chemo. There is a part of me that is very content to wait until Thursday. Part of me wants the results and another part of me is a little anxious about seeing them. I need to remember that we are half way through this journey of the original planned chemo dates. Most importantly, when you're in the wheel barrow, it's ok not to be in control. There's a lot better control from the back pushing so we are glad God is in control of that. (For those of you who haven't heard the wheel barrow story, Brett wrote about it when we first began our journey and blogging.)
I am thankful to be feeling great at this point. I've enjoyed working and spending family time at home. Yep, I need a little extra sleep, but that's very doable.
Taking Alyssa to chemo was fun. It's always a joy to spend time with our kids. She felt very comfortable and enjoyed herself. Nothing seemed to phase her. As I had my port hooked up she just chatted with the nurses about the fish tank she hopes to get someday. She's saving her allowance to get one. When we were done we went to the pet store so she could plan what she needed and how much she needed to save. She's very excited. Brett and I are enjoying watching her learn.
Keep looking up!
