Short update today, but it's a great one! Cathy's counts have rebounded remarkebly over the last 24 hours, and barring anything unforeseen, she'll be released from the hospital tomorrow! After a week of intense radition and then two weeks in the hospital, she's coming home!!!
Well, This Certainly Isn’t Fun
As the proverbial saying goes, "it's always darkest before the dawn." Or is it, "to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop you have to put in work"? Or maybe, "the last year before you retire is the worst of your working life because your friends are all retired already and playing golf and…
A Final Mountain To Climb
We spent the last few weeks enjoying the welcome news that Cathy once again joined the ranks of the cancer-free! We even got it in writing! This is a Doctor's way of saying, "You're normal again." And you thought my writing was long winded... This is objectively excellent news, but we still have one last…
The Best News Makes the Best Post
Short and sweet today! The Doctor just called and said the scans showed no Lymphoma!!!!!!!! Perfectly normal results! We've never been happier to celebrate something's normalness! If it weren't Monday morning at 9 AM we'd pop some champagne. Okay maybe we still will...
A Much Needed Vacation
Wow, has it really been six weeks since we last provided an update? My bad. I feel like I'm back in school again and didn't turn in a homework assignment on time. In honor of that feeling, here are some excuses for the tardiness (feel free to believe your favorite): Time moves quicker in the…
Staring Down the Bull
Turns out, when the Doctor walked into the room at the start of round 4 and said, "Well, are you ready to start the REAL chemo?" he wasn't lying. It's been a rough week to say the least. Cathy went into the hospital for round 5 last Thursday. On Friday night she had a severe…
Mothers’ Day
Mother's Day. A day that is exactly like the other 364 except that there are more men in the grocery store holding flowers which increases demand and inflates their price to tulips-in-17th-century-Holland levels, thereby allowing men to flip the script (for once!) when they have to defend their exorbitant shopping behavior to their significant other.…
Half Way Home!
We just rounded second. On a trans-America flight between New York and Los Angeles, we're currently flying over Tulsa, Oklahoma. On a golf course, we're standing on the 10th hole tee box. On a typical workday, we just finished lunch and are frantically looking for an empty conference room to take a nap in for…
Raising the Banner!
Sorry for the length of silence between posts. We're trying our best to avoid adding to the volume of clickbait and fake news circulating the Internet these days, and let's be honest, reading, "Cathy woke up. Cathy dominated the day. Cathy went to sleep" day-in and day-out gets a little boring after a while regardless…
What Lies Beneath…?
Well folks, it finally happened. For almost thirty years Cathy whimsically claimed, "my kids are making me lose my hair." And now, after crying wolf for so long, her kids literally made her lose her hair! Okay fine, she told us to cut it off, but still, it's true. Here's proof: A Tale of Two…
