Ok, it's been 4 days since my last post. We went to the doctor Thursday, October 21st and small blessings, no bone cancer. As far as they could tell, it is not in the nodes either. Bad news, it is a very aggressive cancer. As soon as Tony decides what kind of treatment he is going to choose, we will move with in three weeks to have the cancer treated/removed. Tony is processing the news and will choose his treatment on Monday.
Tristan came down with shingles due to stress. It has been 4 days and I think I am going to have to call the doctor back...still blistered. Poor guy. I feel so bad for him. I think he is having a hard time dealing with his dad having cancer and now dealing with having shingles. I will just keep praying and see how he is in the morning. Tristan and his dad seemed to have a wonderful bachelors weekend together. I hope that is just what Tristan needed to help deal with what is going on with his dad. They did take third in the baseball tournament and his dad was so proud of him and the whole team. A compliment from dad seems to go a long way to making my boy smile all night!!
I took Kade, Connor and my nephew Jimmy to Texas this weekend to visit my dad. I can not even begin to tell you how much I needed that break especially before we start Tony's treatment. We were so relaxed. The kids stayed outside all weekend and each night they were exhausted. I was exhausted myself and slept pretty well. The boys caught a lizard and a catapiller. The catapiller was eneromous and we brought him home and the lizard we let loose!! We also came home with 4 feet of snake skin!! I relaxed and didn't worry the whole weekend. Now, don't get me wrong, I read the book 100 questions and answers about cancer this weekend so it wasn't completely off my mind but it did answer most of my questions. I missed my husband and T-bone so very much but the boys and I needed the get away. Both of my boys wanted to sleep with me. I know they are scared but a weekend away from the tension was good for all of us. Cancer was not a household word this weekend....go outside was our household pharse this weekend.....and they did!! Swinging, jumping, playing, running, bike riding, feeding horses and oh, the sound of laughter....what a precious sound that is...we need more of that every day.
I thank my God for the safe journey, the time with my dad and kids, the time Tristan and Tony had together and for bringing us all together again at the end of the weekend. I especially thank God for letting us all be kinder to one another and being more understanding to each other and for being able to tell each other that we love each other. God does everything for a reason and that includes my husbands cancer.
