Update

After a short break and a great vacation with Sandy, Dave, Tammy and Shelby; Luke started 3rd grade, I resumed chemotherapy and the Warner girls are gearing up for the 3 day. I took two weeks off from treatment and I must say the break was much needed, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed that after 6 months I am still undergoing weekly treatments. After some fun in the sun, relaxation and a lot of laughs I was ready to see the Doctor friday. Mom and I were armed and ready to demand some scans however we were reminded rather quickly who was in charge. With my tumor markers still elevated scans would really not tell us anything new, so we were not defeated just reminded how lucky we are. The goal is 0-30 my last marker was 41. What had gotten me a bit frustrated was that last month I only dropped 5. I was reminded in that short office visit that had my numbers gone up I would be writing an entirely different entry. Luke started 3rd grade, unbelievable. He was so excited to go back to Redeemer, most of his friends returned and he really likes his teacher. Brett and I are thrilled to be back into a routine. Luke spent a lot of time with his Nana as we ended the summer with Mazie then joined by the rest of the Switzers which as always was great fun. Then we left on a cruise with Sandy, Dave, Tammy and Shelby it was a fantastic 4 days. The Warner girls are all gearing up for the 3 day in October. The fundraising continues, the wild sneakers have been bought and the legs are just warming up. I would love to say I feel great but man do my legs hurt. Tori and I walk as much as possible with our little dogs in tow. We try to do a 6 mile at least once a week then a couple 3 milers. I know we need to increase our efforts however if you don't go first thing in the morning or late at night it is just so hot. Tami and Terri are really working hard they have both walked in the double diggits. As always I will continue to post updates. For right now we are all great and continue to feel blessed by all of your love and support.
