On a lighter note, Keegan and I snuck into a State Dinner a few nights ago. He told me that between “Monkey” and “Lion” he’d have no problem lobbying against some of the hard-core special interests represented in the room. He was right. Monkey did a good job with healthcare and we should be seeing some changes that the people want.
Here we are:
Keegan and Dad at State Dinner
Sorry I haven’t posted for awhile! The last two weeks of our lives have just been extremely busy and heavy. I’m having a hard time getting back with close friends, let alone emailing, etc. I had a lunch yesterday with a very good friend of mine, Jake Larson, and I really just forced myself (Jake, great to see you – it was a chemo morning!) because we had been playing phone tag for 3 weeks.
My life has become much more focused on treatment since I started declining more – mainly the progressive pain, weakness and loss of use of my left left side. This is an area of a cancer survivor’s life that needs constant adjustment I have learned. How to balance being in appts all the time vs time for me, my kids and family, etc. Right now I’ve had so much treatment and appts it’s out of whack.
Tomorrow I will have an Avastin infusion and then I’m meeting a neurologist about the boyox injections in my arm/shoulder. I also started round 2 (volume 2 since I did this before for a year?!) of Temodar on Monday night.
More later,

Mark – your faith is inspiring. God is good all the time, but having a brain tumor makes me question where the good fits in at times. I pray for you so often. I understand the appointment thing. It’s always off to something, it seems like! My poor boys are constantly getting shuffled around, but I’m blessed they are being shuffled to family members, at least. Did you have an MRI this past week? I hope that the tx is winning the battle against that pesky tumor! Prayers…
